This week has been TOUGH on my mental health, and its also making my milk supply struggle when it comes to directly nursing baby.
I just want to be able to provide full breastmilk for my baby, and i am patiently waiting for it to happen. We are ALMOST there. I can feel it. Life has just been trying me lately.
Not only am I a mom, but I also work a full time job. A job I am still transitioning into after being at my old place of employment for over 8 years. Learning new things everyday, and trying to get the hang of it.
Any suggestions to help with milk supply? Or good ways to relieve some stress?
Mama, you are carrying so much right now! Starting a whole new job after 8 years is stressful on its own, let alone doing it while nursing. Sending you big hugs
Honestly, you are the first one to acknowledge that it would be hard to switch jobs after so long. So I thank you so much for seeing me, and the struggle I am going through! I also am going from having a job i could essentially pump whenever I wanted, where ever I wanted (with wearables), to having specific times and a room i need to pump in. So it has been such an adjustment!
Ihear you and I see you. That schedule change and losing that pumping freedom is such a huge adjustment. You’re doing amazing doing it all. Give yourself some grace and if i can, ill give you another hug. For now I’ll send you some love beams hang in there!
