So I'm still nursing my 13mo. I love it, he loves it. Nursing is great.
But, I HATE pumping. Really, truly, can't stand it. It's an annoyance, I just hate it.
DS is in daycare 2days/week, and hangs out with his dad the other 2days. When he's in daycare I usually nurse him a few times during the day (its in the same building as my classes). When his dad has him I pump (although I didn't last thursday, and I didn't bring my pump to school today).
I think I have enough frozen milk that I can give the daycare milk to give DS while he's there, and he doesn't get BM at his dad's (he refuses to give it to him - long story there and I've decided its not worth the fight). DS also spends EOW at his dad's, and when he's with me for the weekend he spends Thursday night and all day Friday with his dad.
I have to pump overnight when DS is gone overnight, b/c he nurses a lot at night still.
Is it ok at this point for me to "daywean" DS? When he spends the day with me he nurses, and I'm fine with that - I'm just REALLY tired of pumping. I'm really just talking about not pumping during the day, and maybe not nursing during the day's that DS is at daycare. Does that sound like a good plan? I'd have enough milk to give the daycare, so he'll have BM on those days.
Thanks everyone, sorry for rambling a little
