So 8 months strong EBF introduced weaning at 5 m/o is still a bit hit n miss with her but she loves food when she loves it.
She mostly loves the mama milk the most and i love that for her.
I think as a natural progression my volume has been slowly dwindling anyway (though I don’t know for sure as only occasionally do a late night pump after she’s out for the 12 hour stretch).
I’d only pump for peace of mind and stash too.
Like because she refused bottles and nurses and comforts from me it’s almost pointless but it’s reassuring there’s her milk should I get in an emergency or something.
Well, her dad got sick and my workload increased so I didn’t do my typical pump routine for about a week and that’s taken a hit too. It takes so long just to get that one 3.5oz combined. Although i did leave it later tonight and got a bit more in less time.
I got my period today too and actually have noticed a dip in the lead up as a regular occurrence so I wanted to keep up with my late night surplus pump too for if it gets really bad there’s an option.
What do y’all do if it dips with the hormones? I’m not sure pumping for an hour to get drops to upkeep isn’t my ideal :/
