um I think I've decided not to stop. Lol. Silly me. I've been re-researching... and I dont' think I'm ready to stop.

Mak - thanks for the post, much appreciated. I'm really sorry to hear you had a rough time of it when you returned to work.

I figure I can continue expressing 3-4 times a day and then cut down to maybe 2 expresses once I return to work (or in the couple of weeks preceding) and see how I go with that. But then again, it is a female perogative to change one's mind . I'll sit with it for a day or two. And I am very proud of myself and what I've achieved so far... I guess I think at the end of the day, I can still do it - 3 expresses a day is leaving time for my own lifestyle and I just can't stop thinking about the benefits he gets from the BM. I'm ok if I have to supplement him with a little formula, I'd just like him to have predominantly EBM.
