Is this post about the recession? Nope. Well, I suppose it is, indirectly. You see, it's time for me to get a full-time job, which means I need to undertake a job search. And those job searches take a long time these days, so I'd better start now, even though my second child (whom my husband occasionally calls "the other one," apparently forgetting his name) is still young. And starting now means that I don't have time to pump after every feeding. Also, I hate the fucking pump. We shouldn't overlook that. So as of today I am pumping after the morning feeding, the 1pm feeding, before bed, and in the middle of the night.
Did you guys see the article called "The Case Again.st Bre.astfeedin.g" in the current issue of The Atlantic? It has gotten the Internet into a furor, but, personally, I found it to be a nice reality check. And if you're a low-supply gal like me who goes to great, possibly insane lengths to breastfeed, it offers some good perspective. Like that it might be better for me to spend time with my offspring than to be pumping all the time.
In other news, Seb.astian's sleep is kind of a catastrophe. He's getting his ass sleep-trained next weekend. I'm ruthless.

GO SLEEP TRAINING! We did it with both ours and it's really one of the best things we did.
The BFing, I agree with doing it. But I don't agree with killing yourself for it so no one is happy. Hope it's an easy transition for you!
GOOD LUCK!
Good job for planning sleep training. It's good for both you and baby. :)
