What's your pumping speed?
Haha the subject sentence somehow sounds funny. Anyways, my exclusively breast fed DD is 7 months now. I pump just for emergencies or when I know I won't be able to feed in public. So average pumping sessions are once or twice a week. And it takes me half an hour to pump about 120 ml on both sides ( have a medela twin pump) And when I pump I need to ensure complete privacy, curtains drawn, music on for distraction, door room locked. I can not pump when the elder kid is awake or if a door bell rings or someone knocks on the door- i just am unable to continue. I don't know if that sounds weird to others but somehow that is how it is. I even feel very inhibited if my DH walks in. So in short- it is not easy for me. And now that DD is just taking 4 hourly feeds and has started solids well, I am thinking maybe its ok to replace the once/twice a week bottle feed to a formula instead of EBM. Am hoping my BM supply is established enough to be able to cope with a couple of missed feedings in a week. Please advise :)
