I am trying to decide when to stop pumping. It has only been 10 weeks, but I am really starting to get discouraged. Pros and Cons of pumping:
Pros: 1. Healthier choice for the babies and better for their reflux
Ok on to cons:
1. 20 minutes every 3 hours is a lot!
2. I have to take the thing with me everywhere I go
3. Cleaning all the stupid parts
4. Falling asleep during 3am pumps in the dark and spilling milk everywhere. GROSS!
5. Keeping babies busy for 20 min while I pump
6. It just sucks!
I hope to make it 3 or 4 months and then use the milk I have stored. It should take me to 6 or 7 months. Hmmmm....
Think about this - pretty soon they won't need to eat so often AND pretty soon you can start adding solids to their diet. So it's going to get better. You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
