So update.  Last night for the first time I did not pump after her night feedings b/c she was pretty much up ALLL night with gas and after the 1 feed where I should have pumped she put herself back to sleep so I just crawled into bed.  We are 5 weeks today and I'm hoping to make it to 8 weeks but I don't know if I'll make it do to sleep deprivation and the fact that I hadn't pumped in 12 hours and yes I was engorged but I still only got about 3-4 ounces.  So still plugging away but still so awfully tired.  On a funny not dd1 now pretends to pump milk for her babies when I pump for her sister b/c according to her that's what mommy's to do

So we are at week 6 and we have hit the growth spurt where we are eating every 2 hours and the only way we sleep during the day is to be held, I have a love hate relationship with my pump more hate then love at the moment.  I am only pumping 3 times a day and I am slowly watching the supply dwindle and to be honest I'm just plain tired.  I get angry every time I pump b/c I wanted so bad to breast feed and its not working.  I think this is the end for me.  Going to go down to 2 times a day and then see what happens.  Thank you for your support and information.

You've done so well to get this far! I'd be asking (if that's ok?) whether it would be worth just stopping?

[Fiver]

Big hugs.  You're trying so hard and are giving your new LO the absolute best start.  Every drop is great x

You've done SO brilliantly!
When I stopped I'd kind of hoped (with consultant advice and support) that I could keep 2 pumps per day going, but I think that only lasted a couple of days before my milk dropped so dramatically that I was faced with the decision to go really full-on to get the supply back up or just stop. I was annoyed with the whole thing and felt awful.  What you need to remember if/when you stop for good, no matter how sad or angry you feel about it, is that you have done SO well, and that you will have more time and energy to give a different sort of attention to your LOs.
Big hugs, it's hard. Big big hugs xx
