[quote=Anonymous]It was horrible for me.  Absolutely horrible.  I had such bad PPA though and I could not see that formula would be okay.  I quit at 7.5 months and then spent a several more weeks filled with regret that I did not quit sooner and just enjoy my baby more, but also regret that I did not try hard enough to nurse (I tried very hard).  My supply was low so I had to pump A LOT.  When I had my second, I said I'd try to nurse and if it didn't work, she would just get formula.  Nursing worked, thankfully, but when I went back to work at 6 months, I was only working part-time and only one day in the office.  That one day per week is the only time I pumped, and I would cry in my office all the way though.  It was like PTSD.  After three weeks of that, I worked it out so I could work from home until she was a year old.  The nanny would bring her to me to nurse, which we had already been doing on my other two days at home  (I was 60% with only one day in the office before so this was not huge.)  Anyway, I know people who did it and loved it and they could do it on 3-4 pumps per day.  I hated it with a passion.  I wasn't in the middle of a pandemic though.  [/quote]
