I am new to breastfeeding (DS only 6 weeks old) and even though I've read a million books I still could still use some advice. My husband would like to take over some feedings regularly with bottled breastmilk. Do I need to pump at these feeding times forever, or if I have enough milk stocked up, can I skip the pumping? What do I do if I want to spend an occasional afternoon out (as in would I bring the pump to a movie theater - I guess it depends on how long I'm gone)? And then I'm returning to work part time in January and I'm anxious about how much/when/where I'll be pumping there too! Sorry about the rant...I feel like I'm overcomplicated this but it was a long night last night and it's strange what things race through your mind at 3am!! I am committed to breastfeeding but sometimes it feels overwhelming. Thanks for listening!
