@msl74pc My partner is always telling me that if it's affecting you mentally or physically, then it's not worth it. He told me to think of it this way, "He would rather our son have a mum that is in a mentally good state than a mum that is mentally drained & physically drained."
You're not gonna look back & remember all the times you pumped for your baby. Sure you will, but I doubt it would be happy memories, but you will remember the memories that you & your baby had. You don't want to look back one day & regret that you were tied to the pump.
I've been exclusively pumping for 13 weeks now, and I know how HARD it is & also the GUILT when you sometimes contemplate quitting. My goal was 1 year but it's looking like I'm gonna quit before then because it is EXHAUSTING but just imagine all the time you're gonna get back to spend with your baby, relax, etc. I can't wait!!!
Also, FED is best! You are doing great, Mama
Edit: than not then
