I totally hear you about the night nursing. We think it's keeping him from learning to sleep through the night, but for the milk supply, and for a chance to have peaceful, cuddly nursing I've continued to get up and nurse. There are actually some really nice products to help you pump hands-free. I used Easy Expression hands-free pumping bra when I was exclusively pumping, and it worked well and was comfortable. And here is an idea for rigging up your own system. It made me laugh, but it looks like it would work. http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/hands-free-pumping.html Let me know how you like the book!

I can only pump twice a day, but it seems to be working out. I'm making sure to nurse extra on the weekends and at least once in the middle of the night. Stinks in the middle of the night, but truly believe it helps my supply :) I also nurse him at the sitters before I leave. Thanks for the book suggestions, I just ordered "The Milk Memos" Thought it would be fun to read while I pump. I have a medela pump in style. Any tricks you know of to rig it so I can pump hands free? Christina – I just went back to work full time and so far so good. I can only pump twice a day, but it seems to be working out.
