Us EE'ers get so used to thinking all or nothing (well I certainly did) that sometimes it's good to remember it could be shades of grey too.
That is so true. I think I had lost sight of the fact that there is an 'in-between'.

3 pumps a day!!! That sounds woooonderful....I might make it my new goal

Right now I am feeling quite ok about continuing. I think tht I can make it to 12 months but I might make 9 mths my new short term goal.
I can't decide yet whether it would be easier to express more through the day, and not overnight, or go longer through the day & keep an overnight pump....it really depends on the particular day.
But I think what I need to do more than anything is go with the flow a bit more, abnd not get so hung up on times etc - kind of do what works first & then see how that affects supply etc, ITMS.

Thanks you so much, all of you, for your advice, comments & support, it's amazing how much it helps, it really really does
