Great news. I hope she continues to improve.Good luck with the pumping. I know it’s hard but like you said it’s well worth it. BTW, Medela does make a hands free bra that somehow holds the pump in place. I didn’t use it but I did think about buying one at one time.
I had one of those hands free bras and it was great! I was still “attached” to the pump and the shields kind of stuck out so I couldn’t cuddle Sarah while I was pumping, but at least I had my hands free to play with her on the bed while I was pumping. The hands free bra was also great for talking on the phone, playing Tetris (this helped me pump longer b/c I didn’t get bored!
) and doing other things. It was about $40 but well worth the money!I knew I should have bought one!!
That’s very true! The pump is not exactly discreet! That’s great that you are able to use it and get work done. 
I have the medela hospital grade pump, and you’ll probably think I’m weird – but what I do is after I put the pumps on, I just pull my shirt down over them and it holds them in place so it’s hands free.
Of course I’m just at home pumping, so nobody sees me. You know what I do while I pump? Message boards! It’s the only way I’ve lasted pumping this long. 
I was also going to mention that for the last probably 8 months I’ve only had to pump every 7 or 8 hours (3 times a day) and have plenty of milk to feed Bryce breastmilk exclusively. So I guess it depends on the person.
Well, this pumping and fenugreek better work. I offerede chloe a bottle with some prosobee mixed in and she was pretty insulted. So I tried putting a little in her cereal with breastmilk and she got one whiff and the mouth clamped shut.
