Congrats. I’m happy its coming so easy for you - and I admit a little jealous as well. I gave birth on Monday, started pumping on Tuesday with a hospital grade Medela when it was becoming obvious my milk hadn’t come in, and finally got milk on SUNDAY! While any pumping is painful, dry pumping for a week felt like I was pulling my nipples off.
Just remember that if you moo while pumping, you increase production. Mooooooo. Mooooooo. Mooooooo.
Yikes Dangerosa that sounds like alot of hard work!
Am mooooing like mad…
Today was our first attempt at breastfeeding:
Bubbaleechie - 1
Mother and Nurse - Nil
Bub’s has shown no interest in my breasts at all 
The nurse has given me a supply line which I can tape to my breast and then put in the bottle, so that as she sucks on my breast some of the baby formula comes through as well. Also I am to let her play with my breasts during feeding time – her dad is going to be sooo jealous!
The first time one of my colleagues did this it was in the ladies loo at work. Another female colleague went to the loo and came straight back with an odd look on her face.
Apparently she went into the loo and heard this mechanical, pulsing, droning sound coming from one of the cubicles. She naturally leaps to an obvious conclusion about what’s going on in there! No idea what to do, curious about who it is but disgusted at the same time … hilarious.
Hope when I go back to work that my boss doesn’t jump to the same conclusions as your colleagues AndrewT. Must make sure to tell him before hand what is going on - “yeah boss just taking a break to suck my boobies, be right back.”
I’m pumping right now. I’m tired of being a cow, but Loren is so healthy, it is really worth it. Fortunately for me the HR director pumped for 9 months so my work has been accomodating.
Dont forget skin to skin contact while you nurse! I use to open Loren’s onesie so that I could carress her back as she ate.
