I have bf my boy for 2.5 months and then fully pump it out for him up to now as I have to work and my boy is too lazy to be direct feed. I think you have to strike a balance to your family and pump milk. To have a happy children is not just from breast milk. Give them more time and play with them is equally important! So, you have to decide on your own. Don't give too much pressure to yourself.
i think you already did a great great job to nurse your 2 sons and breastfeed them for a long time. i thank they get the best from you already.
since you said you don't have much time left to accompany your both sons and now the elder son got behavioural problem, and because of pumping milk, your husband and you have less rest time and even no leisure time. in my opinion, you can stop now.
time is limited. time is treasure. and time flies. you can use time to pump milk. you can use time to play with your sons. you can use time to rest more. and you should prioritise the use of time. i think now the relationship with your elder son and husband is juaperdising by pumping milk, so why not stop?
For your case, you may try to keep one meal of expressed milk for son first(Pumping less, not quitting immediately), instead of two meals a day. Your feeling may not feel so sad.
Decreasing a meal can save more time for children. Bonding & together time with children is very valuable & wonderful! Your husband also treasure more family functions together, such wonderful family time is Great!
You may progressively adjust the pumping frequency & duraction, then quitted step by step. If pumping for one meal for son is not so burdened for you, may keep it on!!!:loveliness:
Take Care!
