Mama Thursday: Addendum - Breastfeeding/Pumping One Year Later

I'm still going strong with nursing Lily at home and pumping at work one year later.  I'm fortunate to be able to pump four times a day at work.  I'm actually dropping down to three times a day starting today and will be slowly weaning Lily for the next six months.

I wish I would have discovered this post a year ago.  I never did go out and get a hands-free bustier so I've been doing this sort of one arm smashdown if I need to use a laptop or Blackberry while I'm pumping.  I am a changed woman.

I would really like to cut back on my coffee consumption but my milk production crashes if I don't have any during the day.  They say things like beer and oatmeal can stimulate lactation.  These along with fenugreek capsules and mother's milk tea have nothing on coffee -- for me, at least.

I'm really going to miss nursing when it's over.  It's a nice way to begin and end the day.
