Baby growth is incredible to witness

What helped me through breast feeding is seeing my baby grow. Seeing smiles and hearing coos. Seeing those cheeks get chubby. Watching the newborn clothes get too small and having to move up a size. I have to supplement with formula because all of my babies have appetites I cannot keep up with but I know even the 50% or 75% of breast milk they get is helping them grow.

I’m a mom of 4 under 4 and my husband just went back to work. To say breast feeding and pumping is easy to do while keeping 4 kids happy and fed and entertained would not be accurate :rofl: it’s a challenge almost every minute of the day. I am glad I have what I need to make this journey easier and feel like less of a hassle. I have great pumps, a bottle washer and a will to keep it all going!

Life is challenging but seeing your baby grow makes all the difference ! These 7 weeks have flown by. I remember with all my other kids, I’d count the weeks I’ve been breastfeeding. This time with the right pumps it doesn’t feel like 7 weeks.

Yes outside is all I got too :rofl: I’m not sure why that’s the only thing that keeps them entertained​:face_with_monocle::face_with_monocle: it’s too dang hot though!!! Thankfully I have a good stash of nursing bras because I have to shower as soon as I come in I’m so hot and sweaty. We have those little blue plastic pools keeping us cool and 4 mom cozy fans because I love them and can’t have enough!

Thank you momma. Congrats to you FTM​:heart::heart::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_hands:t3::heart_hands:t3:
