So we finally realized that breastfeeding just won’t be an option for us... I didn’t want to pump at first, but the mom guilt ate away at me because of a particular pushy family member and I decided to give it a try. I’m ok with combo feeding my babe, and I don’t want to be constantly connected to my pumps, so I decided to set a schedule to pump about every six hours. Wasn’t really sure how it would work out.

Today, I’m very proud of myself. This was all just from one sitting. I’m keeping up with my son’s needs and have been able to give him solely breast milk for about a day and a half now. This is a big accomplishment for me and the guilt has almost fully gone away. 💙
