I really want to breast feed for a couple months but I'm afraid I won't have the time to between…

any way you could pump and tore the breastmilk? I know its not ideal but that's what I had to do for 3 months so dh could feed our daughter.

you can make a set schedule around your classes and pump. get the good storage bags to freeze and refridgerate the breast milk. if you get used to the schedule you should be able to do it

@shawtypop, with my schedule it will be really, really difficult. School from morning to afternoon then work afternoon to night so I would have to spend late nights and early mornings pumping enough for to last the whole day I'll be gone... Everyday. Then someone how find time to do the things I have to do (school work, cleaning, taking care of her in general, etc..) I'm afraid it won't be realistic and I'll end up stressing over it or even forgetting to have enough milk for the day I'll be gone. Maybe I'm overthinking it all.

@lakilucid,

Yea it might be hard for you. you could always try but if not don't let anyone make you feel bad because you have to formula feed your baby. as long as your baby gets nutrients that's all that matters. you're not being selfish you're trying to make a better life for your family. so do what you gotta do and maybe your next pregnancy you'll be able to breast feed. my niece was formula fed from 2 months all thru for the same reason and she was super advanced. she even skipped 1st grade. so don't let anyone tell you it's gonna hurt their development cause that's b.s.
