The past couple of days have been really hard on my pump schedule! And I hate to put the blame on having a toddler but it truly is because I have a needy toddler right now lol. He is 18 months old and doesn’t understand that mama’s gotta pump! My husband is back at work so it is literally just me with my newborn and my son. So I can’t so easily lock myself away in a room for 30 minutes and pump every three hours. There are times where he’s kept himself occupied enough for me to be able to get in really good pump sessions. However, most of the time that’s not the case. It honestly makes me feel like this is a little too time-consuming and that I should give up. I don’t necessarily want to, but if it takes a little bit of stress off of my day then it might be worth it. It just makes me feel bad because I don’t want to have to sacrifice my baby getting my breastmilk just because it makes my life easier. But for my sanity....ugh.

Oh and the short and infrequent pump sessions are obviously affecting my supply. 😫

Idk. I either need some helpful advice on what to do or some words of encouragement that it’s going to be OK if I stop. I obviously know it will be just fine but if people’s words of encouragement help lift my spirits to keep going or make me feel better if I quit, then I’ll take it!
