The loss of sleep when pumping is insane. Whether is waking up for a MOTN pump, or staying up late to clean bottles and pumps, or just trying to sneak in a little me time. The number of times I’ve been up so late that I end up with a MOTN pump even tho I usually don’t pump then is crazy. All because I need to wash bottles and pumps and don’t have time during the day. But we push through and persevere all in the name of happy babies and an insane amount of love.

Yes! As a mom of 5 I’m always up after my kids are in bed to get my cleaning done and get some peace and quiet. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning I have 5 kids awake for the day so once night time hits- it’s me time! Sometimes I’ll just sit next to my pump and scroll without actually putting it on lol
I feel this! I’m always up feeding, pumping or taking care of all the chores
Welcome to the community, Gabbie! Standardizing ‘sleep loss’ as part of the pumping journey is so real. we really do push through out of pure love. So glad to have you here! 
I had the absolute hardest time pumping at night!! I struggled so much but eventually accepted my fait it is so hard
