High Chairs and Pumping

This weekend my parents were in town and we made a trip to Buy Buy Baby.  I just love this store!  I bought a high chair, sippy cups, and some spoons in preparation for solid foods.  I think we are going to wait to start until Cros is 6 months old but I was too excited to wait to buy these things!  The chair he is in is the OXO high chair, which Rachel and Liz both use and recommended.

Working 4 days a week and pumping is hard!!!  I feel like I really have no down time at work because I am always pumping on my breaks.  Crosby eats 3 times at daycare around 7 ounces each feeding.  So I am pumping 3 times at work.  I usually get one really good pump and get about 6-7 ounces, but the other 2 times I am lucky if I get 4-5 ounces.  So this means I am not keeping up with him.  I have not had to supplement yet, because I built up such a supply prior to going back to work, but I might have to soon.  The other thing I am doing is feeding him in the morning and also pumping right after, which has helped.  I also started taking Mother's Milk plus supplements, thanks to Liz's recommendation, so we will see if these start helping my supply.  Overall, breastfeeding becomes much harder once back at work!
