On the days when Josie had me nailed to my chair for an 8 hour nursing marathon (every three months for two days at a go for nearly 18 months, oy) I though it would GO ON FOREVER. It doesn't. It's really such a short time! I know it's hard, I've been there, but can you hang on a little longer? Don't worry so much about pumping, and don't worry about him being dehydrated. You don't need to know how much he is getting; go by his cues. Enough wet diapers? Good. Active and happy? Good! Then don't worry!
