When did you stop pumping?
Right now, dd ours 9 months. I nurse when we are together. She eats breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But she still gets 2 or 3 bottles, one of which is formula, the other s are bm. I pump at lunch and before I leave work. But I'm having trouble figuring out when to decrease bottles and stop pumping. I plan on nursing but I'm anxious to be done with the pump.
Open to thoughts! I don't recall what I did with my son.

I stopped pumping at 8.5 months after I was out of work and not pumping for a week (I was sick). When I went back I just couldn't sit in the bathroom and pump anymore.

Re: When did you stop pumping?
Going through this now. I decreased to 1 pump a day at work- about 10 minutes- and still get a lot of milk so I'm going to go down to 5 minutes probably next week & do that for a couple of weeks then hopefully be done by the end of the month when DS will turn 11 months old. I'm tired of carrying my huge cooler & pump parts to & from work every day & am ready to be done with it.

I stopped at 12 months when we switched to whole milk. I definitely noticed a drop in my supply though.

Re: When did you stop pumping?
I stopped pumping at 8 months but still nursed morning and night. He would get formula bottles at daycare during the day. I was just done with pumping and so tired of being tied to the pump several times a day. We had been supplementing with formula for a while so I knew he would do ok with it. Plus I felt good that he was still getting breastmilk twice a day from me. I was soooo happy to be done with pumping and to have that time to do other things. It was seriously like a sense of freedom.

I feel like this is where I am. I'm still nursing but I'm so ready to stop pumping.

Re: When did you stop pumping?
I started introducing whole milk mixed with BM at 11m. That stretched my frozen supply a bit and allowed me to drop to pumping 1x a day. I stopped pumping on DD2's first birthday, and she nursed until I weaned her at 18m.
