I will definitley have my pump looked at, thats a good idea- Meeting with a LC tomorrow, we'll see what she says...
What I sometimes found worked was actually not looking at babe, just tuning out and watching something that I really enjoyed, like TV episodes of things I liked to watch. Not putting any pressure on myself helped, and looking at baby pictures just made me feel like a crap mom for working so much.
