Caro, you read my mind! I've been too scared to tell anyone for fear of being 'told off', but I think Nicholas is doing better now I'm not pumping so much. I truly think I'm one of those people it doesn't work that well for, but everyone drills it onto you that you 'have' to pump to keep things going. I still feel guilty, even though it seems to be working for us. I was using the medela lactina, but recently changed back to the whittlestone, which I do think is better. I was trying to pump between every day feed, but it would take me five or six sessions to get 150ml!!!!! I think if I could get more out I would feel better about it, but honestly, if I never see a breast pump again it will be too soon PMSL! I was scared to stop too, but I was just so over it, I sort of unconciously decided to have a break, and things have been much better feeding-wise for us. I still pump if he hasnt fed well, but that's not too often these days.

I just want to pick your brain on something.......BFing Nicholas when we're out and about is almost impossible these days. If we're not at home, it's really difficult. He just won't latch on properly, and if he does he is not prepared to wait any time at all for my let down. Which results in him screaming until I give him his bottle. Have you any ideas why this might be? It makes me sad because in the past I would feed him anywhere and everywhere with no dramas.
