[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Continue to breastfeed and wait it out. He will get more efficient fairly soon. For mine it was usually around 2 months. The pump seems like a good idea now, but you will basically be chained to it if you decide to exclusively pump. Think about when baby is just a little older and you want to go out and do something. You will need to take the pump and all the parts with you, find a place to pump, and then sit there and pump and miss out on whatever is going on. Then also carry a cooler bag with you to keep the milk cold. When they get efficient, it can be as quick as 10 minutes to nurse them. Push through this. Exclusive pumping is not something to take on lightly.[/quote]

OP here. My spectra can be moved around and I do have a hands free pump that I have used. [/quote]

Obviously pumps can be moved.

Hands free pumps are not as efficient at removing milk and using one regularly over time will reduce your milk supply.

But it sounds like you’ve got this all figured out based on this and other replies. Not sure why you’re here asking for advice when it seems like you’ve already made up your mind. Very few (if any) here are going to tell you that you should EP over breastfeeding.
