The problem is my mother in law has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and we are currently travelling 300 miles every weekend to spend time with her. There are several other family members living in the household including our bi-polar 9 year old nephew and there is no privacy at all, the room we stay in is a loft in the center of the house! Should I try to wait to start pumping since there is not a definite baby in sight or would it hurt to only pump a couple times during the weekend? Not sure how to handle this. Don't want to screw up pumping once I have started. Any suggestions? Joni Mom to 2 bio daughters ages 26, 24 waiting on adoption

Get a cooler and keep it packed with ice to store your milk. If you cannot do that then I would wait to start pumping. How long have you been on the protocol?

We are being considered for a couple of situations due in Aug and Sep but I am not getting my hopes up. I just was wanting to start building a milk supply just in case. Maybe I will wait. Or the car is a good idea. Thanks Joni Mom to 2 bio daughters ages 26, 24 waiting on adoption

Use this time to educate yourself, read all the message posts, get your pumping supplies ready, etc. Take care and best wishes, Christina Christina ~ Wife of Henry, Jr. and mother of Henry III, born with the help of our Angel/GS
