How quickly did you put away your pumping stuff after your last "official" pump?
I haven't pumped regularly since February and still nursing for comfort every couple days. Yet I can't put away my pumps, or any supplies!
I think I'm having a hard time officially ending my pumping journey/ relationship to my pump 🥹
How do I know that I'm fully empty?
I use a manual pump and I hand express after. I pay attention to how full I am and notice that once I pump my stretch marks are visible. But sometimes I can still express dribbles. Am I empty or should I keep going?
Breasts are never empty so if you pumped longer or hand express milk would generally come out. If you mentioned dribbles, I would not be concerned as your next pump would catch that anyway. Pumping is already long enough so unless you are getting over a half an ounce or an ounce then I would generally say you are good. Here if you need more personalized care.
Can someone tell me why I just spilled my large iced coffee all over the floor? LIKE WHY???? And the baby is teething and has been so fussy all day and not sleeping too well at night. AND I got a call from my doctor today that they wanna look at my liver because something isn't right. I just be sitting on the ground crying rn 🤣😭😩
Kind words and prayers appreciated lol
Grant yourself some grace. It so important to know rough days happen, but this too shall pass. When things go really wrong for me, I slow down, take a deep breath, and try to focus on one thing at a time and truly be in the moment. Intentional imbalance is so critical to realize we can’t do everything at once. Get some rest when you can and brighter days are ahead. You got this!
