Everyday I wish I was able to pump full cups of milk so I can feel more confident saving milk for my baby when it’s time to go back to work full time. I’ve tried so many power pumping techniques, lactation foods/drinks, changed my eating habits and it has been mentally and physically draining and just discouraging. I’m lucky if I’m able to get 2 oz most days but usually it’s 1/1.5 oz every 3 hours. Some days I just want to give up but I would love for my baby to get breastmilk the first 2 years of his life. Having to choose between feeding my baby and working full time can be a very depressing decision to make. Reading other moms stories helped me a lot with my mental battle knowing I’m not the only momma having to fight this decision. I’m still pumping as much as I can so I know I’m my heart my baby is getting the most nutrition I can provide him!
