Not true. I did it for a full year.

I’ve been pumping 4 times a day and get WAY MORE THEN ENOUGH MILK! We have GARBAGE BAGS FULL IN THE FREEZER. And my little is almost 5 months old:

I pumped for almost a year too. The first 2 months was every 2 hours then 3-4 and I got the same amount the entire time. Don't go longer than 5 hours and stay as consistent with times as possible and you should be ok. I didn't power pump or do crazy things either. I took my pump everywhere and bought a car adapter for the plug. 😁

I’m 4 months now of pumping. Well the first 1 1/2 I breastfed and pumped, but now I’m an exclusive pumper. I have 1800+ ounces in the freezer and still making 35+ ounces a day. So that nurse can kindly tell that story to someone else. Stick to your pump schedule. Stay hydrated. Rest when you can. You got this!

I pump every 3 hours during the day (only 4 times a day, not at night) and for 30 minutes. I’ll hit a year of exclusive pumping on August 24th. A breastfeeding friend told me the same 🙄

Not true at all. I've been mostly pumping since day 2 and I'm 13 weeks in with no issues. I do let baby nurse when she wants but it's only a few times a day and just comfort nursing or just snacks. My lactation consultant told me even exclusively pumping will be just fine the entire time my baby needs milk and that supply should not be an issue.

It’s not entirely true, no. But it is very difficult to keep up with baby’s needs when you pump. You’ll need to power pump or add pumps as time goes on and baby needs to eat more. When you breastfeed, baby lets your body know to make more milk for growth spurts, etc but a pump cannot do that.

So not true but I will say it’s a big commitment and WAY harder than breastfeeding... I’m going on month 10 and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. First 12 weeks I pumped every 3 hours and drank almost a gallon of not more of water a day!!! Pump both breasts at the same time you can trick your body into producing more than you need. We had to buy a freezer because I was pumping almost 70oz a day!! Biggest thing is getting a schedule and sticking to it! And remember baby will still want to feed on demand so almost pump right after you feed because it can sit out 6 hours that way you always have room temp ready for baby!!! Good luck and you can do it!
