For sure ... At least for the first couple of weeks, until you know everything's going well and she's going to stick with it.

That's true, you could keep it and get reimbursed. However, I'd really consider renting one from the hospital. They're waaay better than anything you'd buy retail.

and, like Bham said, the first month of bf is difficult but once you got it down then you're gravy.

Does it make you gag every time?

Manshit smells worse than baby poop, but you don't gag every time you take a dump, do you? Changing your kid's diapers is a good thing for dads to do–plus, after you get divorced, you can tell chicks you know how to change diapers, if the subject comes up–and chicks really get off on that shite. Could get you laid more often.

I'm excited, nervous, and sad at same time. I hate to give up my freedom, but I guess it's about that time. I don't want to be 45 with a toddler

Between work and him starting solid foods, my production dropped when baby Bham hit 9 months and he started waking up in the middle of the night hungry; so I'd nurse him before bed, and then give him a bottle with a little formula so that he wouldn't wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

As others said, you get used to it, BUT every once in a while, they will drop something that smells like they ate shite, puked it up, ate it again, then shite it out.

BE WARE !!!

go Mrs Salmon, that's serious dedication

My first took about 3 months till we found our stride. My daughter was a crazed shark from birth, so she was much easier.

They may not let you return the pump, even if it's unopened/never been used. Some places are really picky about "personal" items like that. (I remember the place I purchased mine had a no-return on any breast pumps or parts, so I had to be sure that's the one I wanted before purchase.)

Agreed! My SiL ran into all kinds of issues with her second. I think at one point she had to only eat boiled chicken breast and lettuce because of yeast issues.

Baby Bham struggled at first because he was jaundiced and didn't have the energy ... once we got past that it didn't take long for us to find our stride.

I've never had a problem with it, bro. The only time I got grossed out was the first time I had to clean poo out of a baby gina... What a mess.
