[quote=Anonymous]I exclusively pumped for 18 months. When I finally stoped, I wondered why I kept pumping for so long. My mental health improved immediately. It is really the worst situation because you are spending all of this time pumping and then still having to prepare, lug around and clean bottles. The main benefit of breastmilk is for the antibodies to protect against major illness/ear infections. There is a slight few point difference potentially in IQ. I would pump for at least 3 months for the antibodies, and then re-assess. I personally could never pump enough. My daughter always got 1 bottle of formula. There also has not been research into whether pumped breastmilk has the same benefits as fresh.[/quote]
