At the first sign of difficulty, the general advice is, oh well, better use formula. The socially accepted myth that formula is just as good as breastmilk is very hard to overcome.</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/202/6512006-03-15T02:52:24Zserina<p>It is really difficult to pump once your supply is &quot;set,&quot; so to speak. I find that once the baby is no longer exclusively breastfeeding, pumping becomes much more difficult. Though Ellery still nurses 5-6 times/day and 1-5 times at night, I can't pump much at all. I know she's getting milk--there's let down, and since she's a busy baby-turned-toddler, she unlatches all the time to see what's going on and gets milk in her ear.</p> <p>I wish I could pump for the woman you spoke of in this post. I met her today and was inspired by her use of a supplemental nursing system--so few women even consider such a thing.</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/202/6502006-03-14T23:01:26ZSursumCorda<p>Bursting, and spraying, as I recall. :)</p>
