Hi Ladies,
My twins will be 5 months old on the 18th and I'm starting to think about when I will stop pumping (I pump exclusively for them and they've not had formula since the first couple of days until my milk came in). My initial goal was 3 months, then I was/am really hoping for 6 months, then... I don't know. Pumping for two babes is VERY time consuming and it puts alot more of the burden of childcare on DH (he's not complaining, but I know he's very tired). I'm also working part time from home right now but will be starting some work outside the home in not too long, and I know pumping at work might be possible, but it would be tough.
I'm already feeling guilty for thinking of stopping at 6 months as I want what's best for these guys, but I don't know how long I can keep it up with everything else going on in our lives.
How did you decide when to stop BF/pumping? How did you (or did you have to) deal with feeling sad/guilty about stopping?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
Rachela
