Re: Ugh (pumping related)
Haha I am the WORST with pumping because I'm lazy!! It's so much work! Now that Kieran is having fruits and veggies, I usually don't need to mix BM with his oatmeal, I just mix the food. So I hardly EVER pump anymore. I used to pump every single night before going to bed, now I do maybe once a week or so. And every day I go "I really need to pump tonight"

thats when i used to fb!!!
i hated every second of it but did it for 10 months, dd was on my milk for 13 using the freezer stash!!!!
my theory is when it gets to the point that your life isn't what it should be, throw in the towel....your dc will be fine!!

Wow, that's AMAZING!!! How much did you get when you pumped? DS just started STTN so I think I'm going to keep up pumping before I go to bed because I get 5oz in one sitting (I only get 1 to 2oz pumping after a feeding).

Me too! I exclusively pump. I one set of parts for every time I pump so I just run them in the dishwasher at the end of the night. If I had to clean them in between, I would hate it too. I will say that pumping with a Symphony is easier than pumping with a PIS or Freestyle.

Same here. I don't mind pumping but I hate the cleaning and the extra work. I am thinking of getting an extra set of pump parts for when I go back to work so I can just have two clean sets every day at work.

I HATED pumping! The day I returned my pump (I was using a hospital grade one) was probably one of the best days ever .

I HATE pumping!
The day I stopped pumping when I had DD, I felt like I was released from a ball and chain. Such a PITA!!!

My lactation consultant said that the parts do not need to be washed every time. i put them in a ziploc bag in the frig and wash them once a day.
it saves a ton of time!

Re: Ugh (pumping related)
It is not fun, but I try not to think about it. I've been ep'ing for 10 months now and I am soooo glad that it is almost over. The ped gave us the ok to start whole milk so today we are starting to give DS 1 oz of whole milk in his bottles and he should be on all whole milk by 11-11.5 months!!

The LC I saw in the hospital told me the same thing. She said rinsing with cold water immediately after pumping is sufficient and then wash them out every few times.
