This is how my nightstand looks before going to bed every night.
It is my pumping station, Melanie is still not nursing, which is fine. Pumping is quicker, I just don't get that closeness from nursing. I will occasionally try nursing her and she will do okay on one side and then totally not go for it on the other, so I always have to pump afterwards, so this is probably how it is going to be. I am just grateful that I can maintain my milk supply and feed Melanie without actually nursing her.
I feed Melanie, and then pump, and then what I pump I will feed her at the next feeding and so on. She is drinking about 3oz. right now at each feeding. I always end up throwing a lot of milk away everyday because I pump more than she drinks. With Julie I stored all my extra milk and ended up with a freezer full that I didn't use, so I am not even bothering with that this time. With each feeding I also add a teaspoon of formula(non-milk based). I guess this is the way it is going to be.

You are such a dedicated mom! Hopefully she'll start sleeping through the night better so you can get more sleep.
Um so maybe start with a smaller alarm clock? :)
Hey, I have had this alarm clock about the same amount of time as you have had your block alarm clock. It is awesome and i like it!
