[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a difference between what we are told we are supposed to do as pumping moms, and what pumping moms actually do. If it is only possible to pump once during the work day that is fine. Your supply will adjust down and you can make up the difference with formula. Pumping three times a day during work hours is really hard for most people. Pumping twice is hard but doable for many. Pumping once is great, and if that is what works for you, then do it.[/quote] +1. I have a more accommodating workplace and find it very difficult to pump more than once during the work day. It's just so draining physically, and difficult to take the break when I'm concentrating on something. I've started supplementing with formula. Baby gets 1 bottle of pumped milk at daycare plus formula bottles, and I nurse him in the morning and evening. I wish I just started with that in the beginning instead of pumping 3x a day at work and 2x a day at home.[/quote]
