Has anyone slept while their baby is awake? Would that be wrong? I miss nap time with him during the day because I exclusively pump for him and by the time in done he's up. I try not to pump when he's awake because its hard to control him and try to play with him. I've fallen asleep on him accidentally and I woke up and he ended up falling asleep himself. I felt really bad about it but he was fine. He kind of a random napper and he sleeps how ever long he wants to. I'm just so exhausted and don't have energy. There must be something I can do, I feel like this is my last resort.

That pump sounds awful. Seriously call your insurance and tell them it's defective so you want to return it and get a rental. It's worth trying to see if they would cover it.

I second the recommendation for a Medela Syphony rental (the hospital grade pump I mentioned). Expressing for 3-5 hours per day is crazy! Currently I double pump for 20mins 3-4 times per day to get enough for 24 hours, which is much more manageable.
