I start winging myself off the breast pump a few weeks ago and pumped for the last time on January 23! It's had it's own place on our counter in the kitchen for the past 9 months along with a chiar for me to sit on while pumping. I'm glad I was able to nurse Reese just as long as I did Ryleigh and freeze as much milk as I did. When she was born I was still in and out of the hospital but I was determined to bring my pump so Reese could have breast milk in her first few months of growing.
It's sad to see it get packed up because I don't know if we'll have any more kids for me to nurse. I'm also glad to be done pumping because it takes up so much of my time at home, work and sleeping at night. There were many times I had to pump and Reese would start crying, but Ryleigh was great about helping me out and making her happy. There were even times when I was pumping and holding the bottle in Reese's mouth. (After a few months of nursing she started just taking the bottle) I've defiantly got down the multi-tasking thing.
