Exclusive Pumping??
Are there any exclusive pumpers in this group? If so, how do you do it? pumping is so hard and demoralizing and then my husband forgets to put the bags of milk in the fridge and I lose all of the hard work. It just really has me distraught. I don't exclusively pump but I try to build up a supply for when we go places without the baby or when people want to babysit him. It's just so hard because I think that I can do something because I have pumped a certain amount of milk and I have planned and figured out exactly how it's going to work and how much I need and then someone goes and throws a wrench in it by just not putting it in the gotdamned fridge. This is a little more of a rant than anything, but seriously if you have good tips, let me know. Because somehow in like 5 days time I need to double what I pump everyday so that I have enough the one night that I'm going to be gone and I don't know how to do that because I've tried a billion different lactation things and the only way I can pump a decent amount is if I wait about 10 hours without feeding on one side and then pump. Even more then that, my plans are supposed to be a girls night so I can have a small get away. I also struggle because when I'm gone and he's not nursing I try to pump to replace the milk that he's eating elsewhere, and I never get anything. What is wrong with me?!? 😭
