Surviving a Growth Spurt
"nichole" wrote .. I have a PIS too, but the first time I pumped I cried. I didn't want this machine on me, I wanted my baby nursing! It's interesting that you say that, because yesterday is the first day I had to leave the baby...I just left her for a few hours to run shopping and I left EBM for grandma to feed her. When I got back I had some housework that was WAY beyond the point of desparately needing to be done- our house looked like a tornado hit it (I don't worry about just a little bit of unfinished work, but trust me it was getting way bad!) So by the end of the day I had only nursed her once, in the morning, and I was feeling let down and depressed--- I really missed nursing her! When someone else feeds her EBM in a bottle I do feel like I am not there for her and I am missing the closeness- I am surprised that I feel that way after less than a day. I'm going to pump to store only what I need to freeze for emergency...I missed the little doodle bug! But I do love the PIS efficiency for when I do pump! But you are right, it is not the same.....while I was pregnant I wondered if I would rather pump as much as possible to cut down on the nursing I'd "have" to do to, and the answer is .....NO!! Jill |
