Sick of pumping (vent)
I love nursing, but I absolutely am sick and tired of my pump. We are almost at 6 months and I want to nurse for a year but I hate hate hate hate my pump. I constantly worry about if I am getting enough for the next day at daycare or if I will have to dip into my freezer stash. I have zero desire to be a SAHM except for this issue, if I was a SAHM I could chuck that damn PISA out the window.
I hate it so much that if I thought I could I would just give him bottles of formula at daycare and nurse while I am with him. But I am sure I would dry up faster than I could say similac. My love for nursing does outweigh my hatred for pumping so I know I will stick with it...but I still just want to b*tch about it to anyone that will listen.
If you read this whole rant then I will cross my fingers for you that your team wins tonight 
Re: Sick of pumping (vent)
To make you feel my love.
I totally agree, which is why I think we never had any problems because I was just kind of like 'if it works it works if it doesn't than formula it is'. I also need to get over the freezer stash, because that is what causes the majority of my stress, seeing it dwindle makes me angry.
omg, I was planning on writing this exact post. Pretty much word for word.
Cora will be 6 months on Saturday, and that was my ultimate goal for bfing, but I don't want to give up nursing yet. I would love to just nurse in the morning and at night, but I'm worried that it wouldn't work out. I'm not opposed to formula, but I really REALLY am not ready to give up nursing.
you definitely aren't alone.
I'm the exac same way about the pump. Hopefully you can get to the point really soon where you only have to pump once or twice a day max at work. Z never ever gets bottles unless he's at daycare. I'm lucky in that I work from home 3-4 days a week so I try to keep him home for his first nap and then I only have to pump once while he's gone and I get 6 hours of daycare. No words of advice, just wanted to say I feel the same way. I finally just dropped to pumping once at work.
PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.

I hate the time it takes. I hate the sound of the machine. I hate washing the parts. I hate hate hate when I don't make enough for the next day. I hate pumping on the weekend even though I am nursing full time but I am trying to build up some extra stash to get me through the days on the next week where I don't make enough. I hate having to scramble at work to pump and get things accomplished on my planning time.
But I looooove to whine
