I HATED pumping! And I knew I needed to be better about it with my daughter – like get up at 3 in the morning and pump just to keep up supply and pump enough to feed her while I was at work. At 9 months she self-weened but then my son came a long and for 18 long months we breastfed – primarily from the breast as he started refusing bottles – but I quickly learned that hand expression was a million times faster and more productive for me. As much as I hated it now that those days are gone I kind of miss them.

Thanks for sharing your story! I don’t know anyone who actually likes pumping, lol! It’s so much work, but I’m grateful that I can still provide breastmilk to my daughter even though we had latch issues. I know it’ll be bittersweet when I finally pack it all up!
