Pumping or nursing after work?

Discussion

I was fortunate enough to be home with my daughter for the first 6 months of her life. She’s almost 8 months now and I’m working part three days a week. I obviously pump at work, usually at around 1 (I leave around 9:45).

When I get home it’s 4:15, and I always struggle to decide whether to let her to nurse or if I should pump. If she’s just eaten I’ll pump, but I feel like if she’s hungry she does a much better job of emptying me and then we’re on the same schedule again. What are other working moms doing?
