[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These replies are tone deaf. Good for those people who only had to do a a couple short pump sessions during the day and got to sleep through the night. There's many of us who couldn't do that in order to keep our supply up. OP, if you need to do an extra pump session, or get up in the night to do one (that's where I got my most milk), IT'S OK. This is highly individualized and personalized - stop criticizing women's decisions and telling people what to do. [/quote] What's not OK is normalizing women completely exhausting themselves for the marginal benefit of a few ounces of breastmilk. Waking up in the middle of the night is a terrible idea for the vast majority of working women. It shouldn't be presented neutrally like a valid "choice" or "breastfeeding goal." It's unhealthy.
