[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't make any sense to weigh yourself multiple times per day.  Why??[/quote]

I was weighing myself multiple times because if I weigh myself immediately after waking I have two breasts full of milk. When DS wakes up and nurses I’m generally down a pound or more. After I have coffee and go to the bathroom I’m down a little more. I’ll generally pump the side he didn’t nurse on when he woke up and weigh myself again and figure that’s rhe “truest” weight. It’s been interesting to see how much it fluctuates based on when he last nursed. I’m not manic about it just curious really. [/quote]

This does sound pretty crazy, including pumping extra milk out when you have a 1 yr old who nurses at the breast.  [/quote]

Hi sorry- when was the last time you breastfed? I’m pumping because my boobs are full and sore after he sleeps through the night. He goes to sleep around 7:30 and will wake around 7. So I’ve got about 12 hours worth of milk and frankly- my boobs hurt! So he’ll nurse on one side when he wakes up and I’ll pump the other. He usually drinks that later in the day in a sippy cup. He’s 12 months and I expect to nurse for another month or two and this system has been working well for us. I don’t think there is anything “crazy” about it?[/quote]

Because he is meant to wean slowly and if you would stop pumping, you would stop over producing and you wouldn’t be sore after a couple days of only making what he wants.
