[quote=Anonymous]OP - you are two weeks in. Your body is in a HUGE adjustment period. You are just figuring out so much about motherhood, and breastfeeding. I think you should hang in until the baby is at least 6 weeks old, then re-evaluate. Ideally, try to make it through 4 months (your leave) and then taper off. A couple of tips/comments: -Why are you feeding off one boob and pumping the other at the same time? Just switch half way through. Change the diaper at the halfway point if you need to wake baby up. You are creating your own engorgement by using more milk than needed at that feed. -During the day, pick a tv series or movie, grab a snack and plop yourself in front of the tv and binge watch while baby nurses. Try Ted Lasso one episode per nursing session or pick a movie to watch in segments over the course of the day. I guarantee this will make you look forward to nursing more. [/quote]
