Today I wish for simplicity. I’m extraordinarily good at overthinking and trying to plan my day down to the minute. I wish I was not constantly watching the clock for the next feeding or the next diaper change or the next pump. I wish I wasn’t calculating how old milk in the fridge is, how many clean or dirty bottles and pump parts I have, or how much time I have to do some household chores before my baby wakes up. Today I wish for the simple life of soaking up time with my ever growing and changing baby and waiting and watching for cues from my baby as to what she needs instead of letting the clock or an app dictate our next steps.

It’s rough watching the clock! I depended on an app for everything until my daughter was 6 months old. She’s now 15 months old. Then we went on vacation, and I said screw it and stopped using it. I wish I had quit sooner. It’s crazy how much time I spent logging stuff and checking that app. Now all I calculate is when to have nap time and bedtime…which changes every few months. I check her diaper every 2-3 hours. When she’s hungry, she grabs my shirt and says “buh” for boob…I kind of wish I had taught her to say milk, but it’s too late now

I stopped pumping to spend more time with my baby but supply decreased. You can never just win as a mother without losing something else.

I second this. Its so normalized now to have to be set on a routine that you forget to relax or breathe.
