Hi Teesmum,

Sorry to hear the surgery was postponed. I know how much you want to BF.

You are doing great to only have to do 5 pumps. I think I went to 5 at about 8 months. It didn't really affect my supply too much, although I am on motilium so it is hard to know what affect the medication has. 5am pump isn't too bad either. I do a 6am pump. I cut the o/n one out at 9 months. That was fantastic as I get 7 hours sleep now. I feel like a new woman. Sorry to hear that you still need to feed o/n. I hope one of the feeds coincides with your pump.

Fantastic that you were able to donate some BM. You friend is very lucky. I know what you mean about each bag representing a lot of hard work. I feel the same as well.

12 months is totally achievable. The first 6 months really is the hardest. I found the DS milk intake went down each solid meal I introduced so by 9 months I dropped to 4 pumps. I have about 6 hour gaps through the day which is amazing.

Anyone else still pumping?
