WOW! Seven months of pumping? I respect your dedication but I can see why you
are thinking about formula! I can't imagine pumping breastmilk at all, let
alone 4x daily. I hope you find a healthy solution to this. BTW, have you
considered using a milk bank? You may be able to continue supplying your
daughter with the health benefits of breastmilk, but without having to pump it
yourself. Here is a resource that you may find interesting. Good luck!
