Tonight I wish that I could get the same output throughout the day as I get from my late night pumps. I have tried skipping my late night pumps the last few days only to find that it’s really what gives me the most output and allows me to have enough milk for my baby while he’s at the sitter when I’m at work. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to stop these pumps and even though I’m exhausted, I’m grateful to my body for nourishing my baby. Tonight’s haul is 9 ounces after nursing my baby on the left side.

That is rough pumping overnight. 9oz in one session is great! I took a few weeks break from pumping a month ago, and I was producing like that too. I’m halfway to getting my supply back to where it’s supposed to be now that I’m pumping again, and I wish I had never taken that break. I was just so tired of washing pump parts! The stress I have now about getting my supply back made the pumping break so not worth it.

Oh that’s right, yours dropped from being sick. It’s crazy how long it takes, but at least it’s starting to improve. I will never take a break from pumping again until I am done with breastfeeding.
It definitely is!
