Death to Pumping

I noticed something very odd today. After a month of no breast feeding, I had started to let down. Baffled that I was still lactating, I thought, “I really miss breastfeeding, maybe it’s not too late to start up again!”  I tried to get Baby J to latch but he would have none of it. At one point he managed to grab his pacifier from me and put it back in his mouth so I gave up and searched for my pump.

I managed to pump for 2 minutes before remembering why it is I don’t breastfeed anymore. Pumping is terrible. It’s uncomfortable, awkward, and annoying. Even if I could re-lactate, I wouldn’t stay with it.

I work full-time and hate pumping too much.  Bummer.
