Hmmm, I wish chocolate was a galactagogue, than we all wouldn't have so much trouble to keep up!
Erin - you have done a fantastic job. There is no reason to feel guilty. Over one year every feed of BM is a bonus!
Alissa - I hear ya. I do those pity parties sometimes. I am getting some troubles to pump enough too. But I just clench my fist and keep telling myself ".... I'll never give up....." Funny, I even made a little song with that and just sing to myself when I feel like giving in. It works, but make sure nobody hears or sees you or you could end up in a mental care unit LOL
Bryony - I have the Playtex Embrace pump. I love it. I used to have the Evenflo wahtever I can't remember the name
I pump directly into the bottle and put the bottle in the fridge (in an insulated bag of course) I never had any problems. Of course I am very lucky, I can just lock my office door whenever I pump and don't have a lot of meetings to go to and all my supervisers are very supportive about it. the only thing I can recommend to keep up your supply is t be very consistant, pump about the same times every day and keep it up. You will do great!
