Third baby. Third pumping journey. I pumped a few times a day during my maternity leave, but upon my return to work, I found myself dreading when it came time to pump. I couldn’t explain why I felt this sudden dread, when I’ve never felt it before, even during my 10 month EP journey with my first baby. Phone scrolling wasn’t providing the distraction that I hoped it would, so I went way back to something I enjoyed so much growing up…….reading books. Once I grabbed a book and lost myself in it, I found myself looking forward to my pump breaks. My output has gone back up and I now contemplate what book to grab next instead of wondering why I pump. My advice, find something that you enjoy & use it as your pump time activity.
