When will you stop pumping or breastfeeding?

Question

If you have stopped what did you do to help the pain or production?

Answer

Once my son no longer wants it

Answer

I plan on breastfeeding until she decides she is done. Aiming for 2 years but if she decides before that I have no problem with it.

Answer

I exclusively pump and my first goal is to make it to 6 months. I am so afraid of going back to work and my supply dropping and me not being able to provide enough while he is at daycare. If I can make it a year it would be amazing but man, pumping every 3-4 hours all day is really draining.😔

Answer

More than a year isn't an option

Answer

Aiming for a year, but 6 months would be a blessing. I go back to work at 4 months, and I’m so afraid my supply will go to crap, because I work so much, and I already don’t do well with a pump. 
For pain? Ibuprofen on bad days. Lanolin. I constantly gave to unlatch and re-latch my son to keep it from being painful. He generally starts off really good, then he gets lazy, pulls back to a shallow latch and IT HURTS. When it’s too much for one nipple, I’ll just pump that side to give it a break from him. It’s hard, often painful work, and no one should feel bad about having to stop and use formula - no matter the length of time.

Answer

I pumped last night for my last night and put on the smallest sports bra on to confine my chest. I have been leaking all day and I've been in so much pain! Ibuprofen hasn't helped or cold ice packs. Anyone have any other tips they've tried?
