Almost 3 years of non stop nursing and pumping two babies...

[Ericlena]

Hi. This is my first post. I have a 21/2 year old son and a 10 month old daughter. I nursed my son until about a month prior to giving birth. He was 20 months when he stopped. My daughter just turned 10 months yesterday, has very little interest in food and I see no end in sight. I'm a nurse and work 3 days a week. I have to pump twice in an 8 hr shift to keep up with her demand for milk and my supply up. I'm really tired of it all. I know it's great and breast is best but Im just tired of how relentless it is. I just want her to eat. My son increased his food at a nice pace abd maybe I wasn't so eager for him to eat like I amwith her. She's also a very big girl: 9.5 at birth (home:)) and is 25 lbs nOw. We bedshare and she nurses whenever she wants. I'm just tired of it all. Anybody out there that can relate? Thanks

I can relate. I don't really have any advice but I have a 2 1/2 yo and a 9 mo. They both still nurse so I am also tired! I only work PT and I am able to take the baby with me so I am lucky. I really applaud you for pumping and bringing it to babe. I know how much work it is. Like I said, I don't have any advice just a little empathy.
