[quote=Anonymous]I pumped for 4 months or so x3 with my kids (one set of 35 weeker twins who had latch issues, and then DC3 was not gaining sufficient weight with BFing alone). Both times I had hope they would eventually latch (the twins- never did) or that EBFing would eventually be established with good weight gain (with DC3..and it never was) Honestly I did not find it worth it at all, and wish I’d stopped even sooner than I did. However, I did not have a good supply either- had supply issues and was never pumping more than 75% or so of their intake (even with my singleton). The pumping made me more stressed out, get less sleep, contributed to mild ppd issues etc. I also did not have a ton of support either time (no family nearby, DH works fairly long hours etc). I think it totally depends on the person though. I have friends who have exclusively pumped for longer, and say they are glad they did. [/quote]
