Any good websites or blogs about successfully exclusively pumping? Any tips you care to share? I'm 4 weeks in to breastfeeding and it has been challenging with a toddler. Considering bottle feeding during the day and breastfeeding at night. Help please!
Thanks! I use kellymom a lot for breastfeeding. Did it for 6 months last time. Will go on there for pumping info. It's just harder this time trying to get out of the house in the mornings to take DD to school, playgroup, etc. The timing has been a struggle. Plus having a 19 month running around the house.
Now I'm trying to figure out the best time to pump...and it has it's ken challenges with all the "equipment" and cleaning

I started EPing after about 3 months of BF'ing, and then exclusively EP'ed until about 8 months. I agree with what mcbush said about storing your pump parts in the fridge between pumping. That is a good time saver. I am pregnant with my second now, so unfortunately I do not have any tips as far as managing with a toddler... to be honest, BF'ing and pumping is one of my greatest anxieties once the baby arrives... I'm worried about finding the time to do it, so I can understand your concern!
I switched to EPing at 3 months. I wasn't able to keep up my supply with growth spurts and increased feedings. I had to supplement pretty much from the get-go.
