When my son turned five months old two weeks ago, I made the decision to finally stop pumping. I wasn't making enough to exclusively give him breast milk so I supplemented with formula. Long story short, it was the BEST decision I ever made! Like any mom, I wish I could have breastfed but he never latched on. So I went with the second best choice, pumping. And I'm not gonna lie, it was tough! Breastfeeding is hard enough, I'm sure but with pumping, you have extra steps. Not only are you feeding baby but you're cleaning and sanitizing your parts, keeping track of time till your next pump, storing and cleaning bottles, and waking up in the middle of the night just to pump. Im not complaining, I did it and I chose to do it because I wanted my son to have breast milk. I'm simply stating what it's like to pump. And as hard as it was, it was all worth it. My son, born at 36 weeks, is now a healthy five and half month old who is about 18 lbs. (: Thank you Jesus lol
