Something that made breastfeeding or pumping easier was taking it one feeding or pumping session at a time. When you are thinking about how many times a day you are going to have to nurse or how often you have to pump it can get overwhelming. I find that if I focus on the feeding or pumping session in the moment and not the whole day, week or month ahead it helps.

Absolutely! My first journey I obsessed over when I had to pump next, how many pumps I’ve already done that day. Letting go of all of that this time around has truly helped my mental health AND supply since I was no longer stressing myself out
