What’s helped me keep up my pumping journey!
First of all I just want to say pumping is hard! I have 3 kids and I got my first pump with my first baby. I honestly never used it. I was exclusively breastfeeding and supplanting with formula every now and then. When I had my second I got another pump, I used it sometimes but it was hard my baby cried so much all the time she had colic. My third omg… well she was born with spina Bifida and was born when I was 35 weeks. She was in the nicu for about 50 days. She laid on her belly the whole stay because her back wasn’t healed yet. So because of that the only thing I could do was pump. I was 4 hours away from home so my kids weren’t with me. That made it easy to pump every 2-3 hours. When we came home that’s when it got hard. I was pumping less and my milk supply dropped a bit. I’m still pumping, but I just want to share what really helped me.
