[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends so much on how much you produce, how much your baby eats, whether you’re at home or at the office, and so many other things. My DS is just shy of 5 months and I’ve been fortunate to have an oversupply which has allowed me to produce about 38oz/day spread over 3 pump sessions. My husband and I both stay home so he watches the baby while I pump and cleans the pump parts so that they are ready for the next use. The hardest part was the very beginning (first 2 weeks or so) when I was pumping like 8x/day to establish a supply and was unable to run to the baby when attached to the pump. It got markedly easier after 3 weeks when we felt more of an established routine. I think it would have been the incredibly hard if either my husband or I were working out of an office and/or if I had to pump 5-8x/day to get enough milk. If either of those had been the case I think I would have gone to formula a long, long time ago.[/quote]
