[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who pumped exclusively for six months, I don’t think it’s worth it.  There are all these hypotheses about day and night milk and the mother’s body “reading” what the baby needs through their saliva and providing it in the milk.

I got into a rhythm with pumping and didn’t hate it.  I just think it was a waste of time now.  [/quote]

OP here. It’s hard to believe there is no nutritional benefit from pumped milk? Is there really no benefit? [/quote]

It’s a theory.  Of course there is nutritional value to pumped milk but there is to formula too!  The AM/PM milk thing I totally believe however.  Milk pumped at night has melatonin so whenever I have my baby “night milk” she was sleepy during the day.  [/quote]

OP here. I never paid much attention to it but I do pump and then feed him the milk I pumped. For instance, I pump at 7am and he eats at 7:30, pump at 10, he eats at 10:30am, etc. I don’t always pump right before feeding him but he always drinks milk I pumped within fours hours. I freeze all the milk leftover at the day of the day. [/quote]
