My best tip for pumping was that I downloaded TV shows that I wanted to watch (especially the ones DH didn't like) and watched them as I pumped. It made it turn into a little bit of "me" time and took my mind off pumping. Sometimes I looked down to almost full bottles without realizing how good I was doing, or all of a sudden felt a second let down, which I never had if I was paying too much attention!
