365: Number of days I've been pumping.
5.5: Average number of pumping sessions per day
2,007: Approximate number of pumping sessions, total
40,150: Minutes spent pumping
669: Time spent pumping in hours
27.8: Time spent pumping in days
15,330: Approximate number of ounces pumped
18.5: Pounds E has gained since birth
56: Pounds I have lost since E's birth
1,800: Dollars not spent on formula
650: Dollars spent on pumping supplies
119.7: Approximate volume pumped in gallons
**How I got these numbers:
1. Duh
2. 8 sessions per day at the beginning, down to 3 sessions now. Averaged those two numbers.
3. 5.5x365
4. (previous) x 20 minutes
5. (previous) /60
6. (previous) /24
7. Output has ranged from 60 oz/day to 24 oz/day. Averaged those, x 365.
8. Fact
9. Fact
10. Googled ;)
11. Lansinoh pump, Lansinoh bags (approximate amount bought), breast pads, all of the breastfeeding supplements I've taken (including Domperidone and Reglan). I didn't include bottles because I didn't include them in the cost of formula feeding, just the cost of the formula itself.
12. Added this as an afterthought because my mom asked ;) Used a converter I googled to convert oz to gallons! Wow!
Wow.

You are a MACHINE. I love it :P and you're amazing. I use you as an example EVERY TIME someone tells me they want to give up breast feeding or pumping! haha!
ReplyDeleteI'm just rounding the corner of 20 months!! I cant wait to add it all up at the end!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Pumping is way harder than straight from the tap! You have a very lucky baby to have such a dedicated breastfeeding mama!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteWow! Did you actually pump for 1 year? *impressed* I had to pump for 3 months when my oldest DS was newborn because he was very ill and couldn't suck, but as soon as I could I got him to nurse instead and he kept on doing that until he was 18 months. My youngest DS breastfed for 30 months. *lol*
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! And belated Happy Birthday to your baby!
That is awesome! You bring tears to my eyes, such a great accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteYou rock mama!! Congrats on your anniversary!
