I pump once at work. And at least 3 times at home. When my bb was younger, I always hoped she could take solid food soon so that I could pump less. My supply was barely enough for bb each day and I had only reserve enugh for one day.
Now my bb is almost 8 months and she started to take one bottle less each day. I should be happy, but I feel the sense of loss already since it makes me feel my bb needs me less.
Do treasure this special moment of bb depending solely on you!!!
It is always very happy to read the sharing of BF mother as we do have the same value and similar experience.
I was back to work last week. As my milk supply was just enough for my baby's daily consumption, I couldn't get much stock (only total 15 oz) before back to work and I was really worried whether I could continue to fully breastfeed after back to work. Surprisingly, my milk supply didn't decrease and I pumped twice at work and that was just enough for my baby's consumption while I was away next day.
Relax and use a double pump while pumping at work, even poor mother can still breastfeed after back to work.
suetso, I am also looking forward to the day my baby can have solid food so that I don't need to worry about my supply. But I don't know whether I will feel lost ne ?!!
