mamabear - I only had about 60 - 65 ounces when I went back to work, but I always did better pumping when I missed a feeding so I mostly kept up. As others did, I would try to add a pump after first morning feed b/c that's when I had the most supply. I ran out of supply this week. He'll be 1 in 2 weeks. I'd say the past month I had to work pretty hard to get enough but otherwise I was pretty good!

mamabear jewels reminded me that I hadn't replied. I think I only had about 35 ounces before I went back to work. Pumping the week before I went to work was a nightmare, for me pumping also has a lot to do with my emotions at the time of pumping. Sounds crunchy I know, but stupidly enough this how it is, at least for me. At the office pumping went fine. I will also add that I (partly subconscious) put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself to give ds only breast milk, whereas with dd we also give her the occasional bottle of formula. This has helped so much with my anxiety and has made it so much easier. Good luck!

mamabear In all honesty though, don't stress. I didn't pump enough and just supplemented with formula. It's not the end of the world if that happens. No since in making yourself crazy over it, you know? You'll have more than enough to worry about when going back to work than how much you can pump.

xolastunicornxo klong11 inthekittyWe just finished the first season of Outcast on Showtime! It's about demonic possession and it's so good. I guess the second season aired on FOX so we're going to try to find it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I just saw this!! Man, showtime is the one channel we don't get!!
