pumping



By the time Julius was 6 months I was already having to occasionally supplement breastmilk with formula in his bottles because I wasn't pumping enough at work (though he would exclusively get breastmilk in the afternoons, evenings and weekends)
But with Isabella, it looks like my body already has that natural rhythm and I'm able to pump 2-3 bottles a day during my work hours. I'm pretty proud of that feat and I'm thrilled that at 4 months, Isabella has only drank breastmilk. I'm hoping this continues!

That's great! I had trouble pumping when I was in the hospital, and tried to continue after wards to get a stockpile. It was so much work for me though. But my pump was second (or third) hand, and the motor was dying. I almost had better luck hand expressing, though that was a mess!
