[quote=Anonymous]My firstborn didn’t latch and I exclusively pumped for 14 miserable months. My maternity leave was spent feeding him, holding him to sleep, and pumping while he was awake and in a bouncer or something. I didn’t realize until I had my second child (who breastfed and slept) what my maternity leave should have been like. I also had a nanny by that point so I was able to get some time out of the house. After my first, I absolutely knew I would never exclusively pump again. My supply tanked by 9 months with my second and I gave up breastfeeding without any regrets. I enjoyed it while we did it, but it was fine when it no longer worked and my child was happy on formula and is a delightful, incredibly bright 3yo now. That said, quit if you want to, but you can also drop down to 1-3 pumps a day and combo feed if you want to. [/quote]
