Giving it up
The hand-pump that is. Facts to face–
1)DD#5 is now too lazy and spoiled to nurse normally.
2)She must eat and I want her to have the best, and that’s breast.
3)My other children also need a mom.
4)Spending 6plus hours (I think it’s really more like 8, but who’s counting) a day pumping is no longer feasible.
5)You can find anything on eBay.
6)I won a Medela PIS for $63 shipped. I’ll be paying for it as soon as I scrape $5 more paypal together OR Friday which is payday, whichever comes first. (Please God, let it work, and let it be all the reviews say it is: Quiet, Strong and Fast.)
7)Since I now will have all this extra time, can I possibly hope to a)sleep? b)eat? c)potty? d)SHOWER? e)feed, change, cuddle and otherwise care for my own baby? f)cook? g)clean?
8)Doubtful, see #3.
Off to find some soap and water now.
















I used a PIS with Melina and it worked better than any other pump I had used. Don’t remember how quiet it was though.
