Some nights it’s a peaceful, quiet pump while everyone else is sleeping. Other nights, it looks a little more like this. 
Tonight, I was only able to pump one side because my little nugget woke up wanting to nurse. So I did what any breastfeeding mom does… adjusted the plan. Now he’s sound asleep in my lap while I sit here finishing my pump. 
Breastfeeding is HARD.
There are so many moments when things don’t go exactly how you planned, but I’ve learned that consistency matters more than perfection. Sometimes staying on track means making little adjustments and working around whatever your baby needs in that moment.
It may not always look picture-perfect, but these middle of the night moments, the extra pumps, the sleepy nursing sessions, and all the little sacrifices really do add up. And knowing I’m getting closer to my goal makes every tired night worth it.
One pump, one nursing session, one middle of the night cuddle at a time.
