I'm also sad I didn't just try to keep things going at a low level for a while to see if I could make it work part-time.sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995232394874598825.post-85971396822694367892011-01-09T10:57:19.829-09:002011-01-09T10:57:19.829-09:00I went through something very similar ... exclusiv...I went through something very similar ... exclusive pumping for several months before finally switching to formula. I just wanted to say a couple things:<br /><br />1. I know what you mean about wanting to HAVE to give it up, instead of choosing. I wanted that too. In some ways, I think my husband sort of forced me to do it so I could blame him instead of myself. I was so sad about it. I chose to give up because pumping was taking too much time away from my kids, and destroying any free time I had. It was so so so hard.<br /><br />2. I STILL somewhat regret giving up pumping and not trying to get the babies to nurse again. But then I remember how hard it was, how I'd have to leave them with a babysitter or my mom or my husband multiple times a day to pump, and how much they would scream when I'd try to get them to nurse. I need to remember that to remind myself that I made the right decision. <br /><br />3. In some ways, I'm happy I gave up pumping, because it would have just gotten harder. As you know, it's awkward to bring a pump around with you and find privacy as often as you need to, and it just gets harder as the baby gets older. I've been able to do a lot more now that I'm not pumping anymore, and it DID make a difference in my life.<br /><br />I don't know if this will help, but I can say that I understand what you're going through, and I'm really sorry. These parts of motherhood are much harder than I expected.sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995232394874598825.post-76999362363874771632011-01-09T08:23:30.331-09:002011-01-09T08:23:30.331-09:00Girl, you now have the freshest breath and the mos...Girl, you now have the freshest breath and the most organic teats in all the land. Heh.<br /><br />Sorry you are having to do this when it wasn't your choice, but think about all the time you'll have to hang with E that won't be spend instead on pumping, doctor visits, etc. It will seem much better after you settle into the new routine, I bet.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493045268452808663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995232394874598825.post-6027134434792230482011-01-09T07:26:02.923-09:002011-01-09T07:26:02.923-09:00LOL Cabbage?LOL Cabbage?Wanted: A Pea for My Podhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06297824227949451932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995232394874598825.post-20712037761878944522011-01-09T06:20:02.100-09:002011-01-09T06:20:02.100-09:00Always disappointing to give up on "the plan,...Always disappointing to give up on "the plan," whatever the plan is that you've created for yourself. But you did it when you decided your very successful, alternate route for having this precious (and adorable) baby. And now that you've made a new plan for feeding this little miracle, try to relax and enjoy your little boy! He will be FINE; it's you that is disappointed. (Which I totally get.) Hope your new plan goes well!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146024037519402234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995232394874598825.post-3638249338589682572011-01-09T04:51:15.600-09:002011-01-09T04:51:15.600-09:00I am so sorry you have been faced with this decisi...I am so sorry you have been faced with this decision :( But you definitely have put yourself through a LOT, and any breastfeeding is better than none, remember that.
