@@thejoneses25 Do you mean pumping is not fun or weaning from pumping is not fun? Most of my families are ready to kick the pump to the curb or throw it in a bonfire!
Here I am 1 week shy of the 12 month mark of legally allowed workday pumping. I’m 100% not ready to stop nursing, but also ready for a little more freedom. I pray pray pray that my supply doesn’t dry up completely and U can continue nursing for like 6 more months.
What about moms who travel away from their babies for work? Like the occasional 2-3 day trip? Do you only need to pump for comfort? Do you need to keep up more of a routine to not have supply issues if your baby is around one?
Really good question. Depends on how often you nurse in a typical workday when you aren’t out of town. Or on the weekends when home. How often is that for you. A lot of times, you’d pump when you wake up, mid-later afternoon, dinner hour or before bed.
Nope. No need. All other mammals once weaned from their mother’s milk move to food and water. We are the only mammal that thinks we need to replace mothers milk with another mammals milk (cow milk or alternative)…which makes no sense. But is certainly driven financially by the dairy association and government subsidies. ruclips.net/video/EbDZuWjI050/видео.htmlsi=gUPF1sslmjVBZHlU
Hi Summer! Just discovered your videos. New mum here, so really appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Would you reccomend the same advice for moms who couldn't breastfeed early on with newborns? I am wanting to move from exclusively pumping to breastfeeding for bubba. Would I replace a pumping session with a breastfeed after decreasing pump time?
Yes gurl! Just start nursing instead of pumping and see how baby does. How old is bubba? Many EP moms can do this and feel so elated when bf is a reality. If they don’t easily latch often a nipple shield can help transition to bf. I like Medela or Lansinoh brands size 24mm for older babies.
Can this work for 3 month old babies? Going back to work and introducing formula, slowly decreasing my pump sessions to 3 times a day and only 15 min. Is it possible to pump only twice a day ? Morning and night? Just so he get at least some breast milk throughout the day with formula.
@@yanet98g Without your full story and history I can’t know. But it is very risky as this early postpartum period to be able to reduce pumping while separated and be able to maintain milk supply. Eventually the less pumping you do, it usually slow overall production. Especially at 3 months postpartum.
My little one is 18 months. Ive been pumping 10:30 and 1:00. I've naturally gone down to 10 minutes during my afternoon pump but still at the 15 minute during my first pump. Im a teacher and didnt have coverage today at normal times so I pumped at lunch and thats it. Can I keep doing that without dropping my supply??
Everyone’s body is so different. Are you hoping to collect the same amount you did in one session as you did with two? What happened today as far as how much you collected? Are you nursing as well when home?
Im just hoping to still nurse as usual while Im at home (when I get home, on the weekends, and during the summer while Im off). Yesterday when I only pumped once, it was a tiny bit less but at the same time I havent been pumping more than 1 ounce in all during the 2nd pump. If im lucky it would be 1.5 ounces at the most for that 2nd pump.
Trying to get back some time in my schedule with my class while not neglecting my nursing journey. I have a break at 2:00. What if I bump my 2nd pump down to 2:00 instead of 1:00 and work my way down by lessening my pumping minutes. Would you suggest that? I still plan to pump once ideally at 10:30 due to my schedule. What are your thoughts?
I realized that I didn't answer one of your questions. As far as the amount I'm hoping to pump...I'm not really worried about pumping the same amount. Just to have a little for her to drink with her lunch at home and to keep nursing for as long as her and I want. :)

Thanks for the information. I am ready to be done pumping. I am still working on it and it’s not a fun process.
@@thejoneses25 Do you mean pumping is not fun or weaning from pumping is not fun? Most of my families are ready to kick the pump to the curb or throw it in a bonfire!
@@DoneNaturally , The weaning is not fun as I am always in pain. I have been trying to wean for almost a month now, but no success.
@@thejoneses25 it shouldn’t be painful. So you might be moving too fast. It just depends on how much milk you make at the time of weaning.
Thank you!

You can!!!!!! This is what most moms do and continue bf for as long as they like…even years.
thanks Summer :) This was timely for me!
Yay!

Do we replace the milk they are not getting with something else? Or will their food intake naturally replace it?

Perfect timing!! Baby just turned 1 about a week ago! How does decreasing pumping while at work affect supply when I’m home with baby?
It won't if you go slowly!!!! ❤️ Baby will still get all they need anytime you are home with them.
That is so cool! THANK YOU for all you do!!❤️

@@DoneNaturally thank you for your reply !
Is it still possible to continue breastfeeding but not pump at work if you work 12 hour shifts? I work three 12s in a row.

@@ceceliaaverette-rm9tv I’d say you can slowly stop those pump sessions and expect to continue to breastfeed per usual without concerns.
