I had a low moment last week. I got sick and tired of pumping. And I really wanted to quit. I got so busy at the office, at home, with the digital community, that I felt taking time to pump was eating away my time. Good thing I realized I was wrong – and that I will not waste the almost 9 months Ive been giving breastmilk to Martha to have her go with formula. My goal is to pump until she is a year old..which, when you think about it, is already almost 4 months away from now! Im assuming Martha will wean early. She really prefers eating solds already and has been drinking my milk when she is sleepy. Since I only have one pump, an Avent Isis manual pump, I thought of buying another one to lessen my time, and take advantage of my let downs. Breast Pump Reviews have given best feedback about Avent’s breastpump so I want another one. Im just thinking if getting another one would be worth it – if I will only pump for 4 months, if I can go exclusive breastfeeding again (since Martha supplements with 2 bottles of formula now), and if ever Id get one, Id get it abroad – Avent is ridiculously priced here in the Phils. Maybe I can buy pumps which are just slightly used? I need to discuss it first with Edil.

Im just so proud because the wives’ support group I currently belong to has now na official member/teacher of La Leche League. She has been an inspiration to me to really aim to breastfeed Martha when I was just pregnant with her.
