Expressing on holiday

[tweetyfoo]

Is such a pain in the arse!

Really wishing Aaron could just bf and feeling guilty for thinking it!

I'm trying to wash and sterilise bottles with proper facilities and my makeshift fridge is a poly bag hanging out the window

I miss my system!

Ahhh Hun it must be tough, your determination is amazing and I'm sure your supply must be getting good enough that you could maybe drop a feed soon?
You will feel like Pamela Anderson for a while but it will give you a bit more flexibility.

Hope your having a lovely time x

I'm down to expressing 5-6 times a day but I'mThinking of dropping another one as I'm getting 40-50 oz a day and Aaron only takes 28 (when he's not on hunger strike)

My freezers are full and I'm goin to have to start dumping milk which I don't want to do

I had the same so went down to 4 a day - 7am,11am,3pm,7pm roughly.

Still was getting too much so I dropped the afternoon pump or if I was going out I would drop the morning and pump in the afternoon.

I think I felt a bit like you when B turned 3 months and made the decision to stop then as I wasn't getting the same sense of pride from doing it anymore and I was returning to work on KIT days and thought enoughs enough! X

I feel for you Hun, we went away for three days when I was expressing and it was a real pain!!

If you have that much stock I would drop an expressing session. I got to the point that I had two drawers full in the freezer and it was getting silly so I dropped a session.

Tweety foo I hav to say I absolutely admire your determination. I've just started breastfeeding Harry sing nipple shields so have finally stopped expressing after 7 weeks. It was the hardest thing ever and I felt like quitting so many times. You are a super star mummy and Aaron is a very lucky little boy (and very gorgeous!). I'm very jealous if your supply! I was lucky if I got 16oz a day xxx

No please don't dump! If you feel you have too much have you looked into donating? Some places will even arrange to come pick it up off you xx

I don't think I could ever dump, I've put in too much hard work to do that , I think I'll look into donating when I go home x

if i was in uk i would pay you to give me some milk for amelie i still cry sometimes that i couldnt express more than 20 ml in one go and eventually my supply died.
you did absolutely fabulous! its such hard work. if you have too much as someone previously said i would maybe donate it to the hospital for premies and sick babies?

 

[Andreabrad]

Aww yea donate what a lovely thing to do

What a awesome feeling that would be to help another baby have the best start in life

Your a super mummy xxxxx
