[quote=Anonymous]I had a premie who couldn't latch, so exclusively pumped. By about 8 weeks I had it down to around 6 times a day and never pumped overnight. I made it about 11 months with exclusive pumping, and then supplemented and started the transition to cows milk. We also supplemented at the very beginning because she needed the calories, etc. I was also fortunate that I worked from home full time already (pre-pandemic) and that simplified soo much because everything could go straight into our home fridge and I had a lot of privacy. Anyway, if it doesn't make you crazy and you have a good enough supply, keeping at it is an option. In retrospect, I kind of wish I'd stopped around 6ish months, but momentum and hormones, etc. If you don't have a good supply and/or you don't like the pumping experience or another part of your life makes it difficult, feel no guilt whatsoever about stopping, your baby will thrive either way.[/quote]
