Am I Weird?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
...because I'm sad that I'm returning my hospital-grade breast pump tomorrow? I've decided not to renew the rental. My yield is less and less each day and I struggle to get enough to give him one bottle. We still nurse at night and on the weekends but I'm sad to quit pumping. Yeah, I must be weird.

I never really minded it. I loved the feeling of the let-down and hearing the milk jet into the bottles. I never had copious amounts of pumped milk but always had just enough to meet his needs. It made me feel good to provide for him.

Now, my little man is almost 15 months old and loves his food and is starting to drink cow's milk. My time with the pump is over. Probably all the more sad because he is my last child.

Anyone else ever feel this way?

nope - not weird. I love pumping and seeing the milk pour down for my DS, so that he can be fed if I'm out, or in case of an emergency. I will miss it when I'm done... but for now we have a long way to go - DS is not yet 4 months.

Not weird at all. I'm not sure how I am going to feel when I stop pumping at work. I am currently trying to decided when I going to wean myself from the pump since DD is approaching her first birthday. I plan on letting her wean herself, but I am not sure how much longer I want to pump twice a day at work.
