"This part is really hard. What makes it even harder with Colin than it was four years ago with Alex is the whole nursing-and-pumping issue. I don't know if I'll be able to pump enough milk. I don't know what "enough" is, even, because although Colin has practiced drinking from a bottle he has never had a full feeding that way, so I don't know how much he'll take or how long it will last him."

So, it sounds like you have an amazing support system and knowing you, I am sure you have done a ton a research, but please let me know if it might be helpful for me to share our recent experience with transitioning from breastfeeding at home to pumping and bottles. There were lots of bumps, despite my preparation and research. Best of luck with it all regardless!
