I Want My Boobs Back

I have been nursing my son for 4 months. When I decided to breastfeed I committed to six months, but now I feel like he is attached to me all the time and I have to pump at work which is a little uncomfortable. I am considering weaning him, but I am afraid that I will want to go back once we start the process. Has anyone else had these conflicting feelings? How did you deal with it? What did you ultimately decide?

Picking a Pump

I am currently pregnant with number two and i really want to try and breastfeed for longer then a week, like with my daughter. Due to my c-section and she was in the hospital. But I'm worried for when I go back to work. I want to make sure I have the right pump and which one everyone has tried. I see so many different brands out there and I pumped for my daughter I just don't feel comfortable going back to that same pump. Does anyone have brand they prefer. We were thinking about one that you can put it directly into the bottle so you have...

My 4 1/2 Mo Old Is Weaning Himself

I have a 4 1/2 mo old boy. Since he was born I did not make enough milk and was told to supplement with formula. I work full time and have a long commute, so I don't get a lot of time with either of my boys during the week. Now today at lunch I just went to breastfeed my baby and he wanted nothing to do with it. My mom says he was too hungry and was being lazy wanting a bottle instead. I'm not ready to stop. There was plenty of milk (I squirted myself in the face LOL) but he was crying very bad. I couldn't stand it I gave him a bottle and...

Comparing Breast Pumps

I had a Medela with my second daughter and loved it. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of letting a friend of my sister use it and I never got it back. But even if I had gotten it back, the thought of using it after someone else nauseates me! So now I'm expecting baby girl #3 in about 7 weeks and I'm looking in to purchasing a new pump. Like I said, I've used the Medela Pump In Style and loved it, but that was 7 years ago. I've been looking at the different brands and was wondering if any of you out there have used the Ameda Purely...

Ameda vs Medela Pump

I bought the Ameda pump and have only been able to pump a maximum of 1.5 oz with it, regardless of when I pump. I'm wondering if the Medela Pump N Style would pump more milk? Has anyone tried both pumps and noticed a difference in output?

Looking for Good Breast Pump Recommendations

I'm expecting my 3rd child in a few months. I have a 2 yr. old and a 4 yr. old. I was able to nurse the first 2 and occasionally used a single pump. With having 3, I want the flexibility of being able to pump more. I'm planning to buy a used pump to save money, but with so many brands out there I was wondering which ones people loved the most and why i.e. ease of use, ease of cleaning, quiet, pumps quickly. Thanks in advance!
