[quote=Anonymous]What if you just moved to a pumping schedule that felt doable to you, and told yourself to keep doing it as long as your body would allow? Maybe that’s moving to 3 pumps a day and otherwise feeding formula? Even if your supply starts dwindling you may get enough from 3 sessions to continue a bottle of breastmilk everyday (for the antibodies) and if it ever gets to a point where it doesn’t feel worth it anymore, you move to formula? I combo fed by doing this (a manageable amount of pumps) for 6 months before deciding to wean completely because I was just over pumping at that point. I was very lucky in that my supply didn’t take a major hit reducing pump sessions, must have a decent storage capacity, but it was so much less stressful than either breastfeeding or exclusively pumping was for me![/quote]
