When Finley was born, we ended up exclusively pumping. At first, running on zero sleep in an endless loop of pumping, washing, and feeding felt totally overwhelming. But every ounce was pure love for my boy, and we eventually found our rhythm—I even learned to soothe him and hold his tiny hand while pumping. Now, 6 months in, I’m so proud of us. It took crazy discipline and grit, but it built an unbreakable bond between us ---

Heyyyy welcome! We’re happy to have you here! ❤ It’s such a wild ride in the beginning! It’s truly amazing how we are able to take care of these tiny babies and everything else on such little sleep! There’s a big learning curve at first, but I eventually figured it out. Those moments of hand holding are so precious! ---

I lay him across my lap and feed him his bottle while I pump!! I used to do each thing separately but I found a way to position him so I can do both! Saves me time and sanity 😅
