I haven't been super active on here, as my BMB is a total ghost town and that's where my support system always was. For those who don't know me, I'm a June 14 momma and have been EPing since LO was 3 months after a not great BFing relationship (we were always crying) and a horrible case of thrush which lasted 2 freaking months.
K is now 11 months and 4 days. I am SO CLOSE to being done! I currently pump twice a day, morning and night. I had gotten my pumps down to 15 minutes but I'm trying to keep my supply which is slowly dying. I'm pumping about 12 ounces a day and starting to mow through the small freezer stash I have. I'm hoping I can hold out until her birthday, because she has been on BM exclusively. She had formula early on a few times and always got sick so I don't want to have to give it to her.
I'm trying to decide if I want to try increasing my supply or just let it go since I'm so close... I never thought I'd make it this far, especially given the intense hatred I have for my pump. Honestly this is even something that makes me hesitant in thinking about having another baby in the future. Thinking about possibly being attached to a pump again makes me utterly cringe, but I feel like my body can produce the milk to feed her so I should...
Just wanted to touch base and say kudos to all the other EPers out there and Happy Mother's Day!
