[quote=Anonymous]Have you tried the Haakaa?

I pumped a bit when my baby was prob 1-3 months old, once maybe every other day, after a feeding. It was a PITA but I thought I’d be heading back the office at 12 weeks, and the doc said it was good to get him used to a bottle before then. It gave me enough pumped milk to sleep through an 8 am feed once a week (glorious! For some reason I hated the 8am more than the middle of the night feeds). Then the pandemic hit, along with the 4 month sleep regression, and he started fighting the bottle, and I just gave up - my office was closed at that point anyway. So I totally understand - once the return to the office was no longer looming, it wasn’t worth it.

But once he started sleeping through the night at 4.5 months, I started using the Haakaa each morning on the right when he fed from the left. Then I take the Haakaa off and switch him. It’s sooooo easy, and gets me 2-3 ounces a day, effort free! That’s enough for a couple bottles a week, and probably enough so you feel less tethered. Highly recommend. [/quote]
