each of my kids because they would not latch on in the beginning and I couldn't handle the stress and frustration that came along with it. With Carter I pumped for nine months and with Leah I only lasted six. Now with Mila it's been four and a half and it's starting to wear on me. I don't know if it's having the demands of two older kids or what; but I am hating every second of it. Wherever I go, my pump goes... I feel bad for Mila too. When I'm not ahead of her schedule, she screams the whole time I'm pumping and it just breaks my heart. Jason has been the best support for me...he'll feed Mila once I'm done so I can get other things done. I think in that aspect it has really given Mila a strong bond to Jason. He keeps encouraging me (maybe cause he knows how much money it's saving us) and I know it's the best source of nutrition for my baby, but it's getting VERY old!!

I just need to vent...
If you know me very well you know that I use one of these to feed my baby. I have had to pump with

Oh, bless you for doing double feedings! that's a lot of work! i'm glad Jason helps. need the name of the best lactation consultant in the valley?? She'd get Mila latched on!
I think you are doing a great job... way to go. I can't imagine pumping for that long. I can definitely see how that would be getting old. It is probably harder now because you are pumping and you have three kids to handle instead of just one or two. I think you ROCK, for being such a good mommy to Mila. But if it gets to much... don't let it get you too stressed out. You are a great mommy either way.
