Re: What should be the target? Should I continue? Any advice?
Hi gedaisymay,
Full-pump mom really is not easy, but you insist because of your Great love to your darling BB.
Mama milk is the best & natural foods for BB's development, if possible, trying to extend your target for BB's life long benefit!
Yes, milk ducts blockage is so annoying, but can overcome.
I suffered it twice when Hayes still was young.
1. Please keep on regular pumping together with messaging your "so hard & painful" location.
2. At home, taking a hot bath + message before going to pump milk.
3. BB reachs 6 months, congee or cereals actually replaces a meal. Some mamas here mix cereals with mama milk/formula.
4. Since from Hayes reaching 6 months to 1 year old, he gradually drank less mama milk. Because I prepared 2 solid meals for him.
Relax & Try your best!
Here you can find support!

Hayes had been breastfeeding for almost 3 years, then naturally weaned by himself!
Wish Hayes with Love, Peace & Joy!!
