Pumping once per day
Has anyone ever started off only ever pumping once per day? And done that for a few months?
Context: I’m pregnant with my third. Nursing never worked and I exclusively pumped for 12 months and then for 5 months. It is a bad experience for me. I have extreme severe DMER and aversions to pumping and it got worse, earlier, with my second. I had planned to exclusively formula feed this baby but I am second guessing not getting any of the immunity from breastmilk. So I’m wondering if from the beginning I could just pump once per day just to get baby a few ounces maybe. Again, just to get some of the immunity and benefits. In the past I’ve had oversupply but always pumped 8x a day. Any thoughts appreciated.
