I feel really frustated right now with pumping. DS is 5 months old and he seems to not ever be satisfied, He is sleeping all night most nights, from 7 30 til 6 00am so maybe my production has declined? I don't feel full much and he eats quite a bit but always fusses at the end. Once that he is entertained it stops and if i feed him more he spits it all up so i don't know if he is hungry or just wants to suck or what. I work from home but a couple of times a week i go into the office and i need to leave bm with him but I HATE pumping now. I barely get much 3 oz or so when i pump at 10pm or so and i m getting real sick of the isis and having to hold it fwd so i don't leak milk etc... I am considering getting a PY to help my supply and if it would make pumping easier/faster etc... I'm very committed to BF but I'm afraid that it will not work if I hate pumping and have 0 freezer stack. Right now i literally HAVE NOTHING AND THAT STRESSES ME OUT, PUTS PREASSURE ON me to pump more QTY and it almost makes me fret pumping even more cause I'm under preassure.
I feel the isis would be great for a QUICK pumping session for cereal when we introduce that or for on the go but it seems to turn me off from daily pumping. Would an electric help?
btw - ds has been exclusively breastfeed although we have come close to giving him formula a couple of times because of the lack of a stash.
