✨ Sometimes You Need A Wearable and That’s Okay ✨

My breastfeeding journey didn’t start out easy, my partner had to go back to work immediately thanks to a government shut down and my beautiful Velcro baby would not let me put him down LONG enough to stayed tied to a pump, I almost gave up I was so overwhelmed I really didn’t know how anyone could possibly pump I had no childcare help I was just lost but my wonderful partner bought me an Air1 and that truly saved my whole journey especially since I was trying to build my supply. It was really hard to navigate by myself I was and still am doing this mostly alone but we did it and are still going strong 9 months later!! Sometimes you just need a wearable and that’s okay even if you get side eyed

Lollll, you just reminded me of when we hiked the Mist Trail. :rofl: People were looking at me like I was a weirdo because I was only pumping on my left side. It was so obvious how asymmetrical I looked! :joy: Kudos for making it to 9 months!

I can understand how hard it is when you doing everything mostly by yourself. Pumping used to be a huge challenge for me too! Then I figured out I could nurse and pump at the same time. It takes a little longer to pump, but my daughter’s happy cause she at least gets a boob. That’s all she ever wants half the time is boob! It’s so great that your husband bought you the air 1!

I tried that ! unfortunately my son only sleeps when I nurse him so the sound of the pump would ruin his naps so I had to stop that’s

So disheartening!!! :sob:

But I am over the moon it worked for you that’s AMAZING

This!! with my first journey I though Spectra’s were the only pumps out there! I remember crying because I mentally couldn’t do it when it came to being attached to the wall. That’s when I found out about collection cups and the baby Buddha- that made pumping soo much easier but I hated going out and about with the tubes poking out. Once I learned about wearables I havnt turned back! They are truly a blessing!

Seriously this part!!! I couldn’t do it and to be honest i didn’t even know about these pumps my partner found them , he’s such an MVP

I freaking wish!!! I’ll try to do it when I know he’s not going to nap!!! It’s hard telling sometimes tho I go by time but that changes a lot

I will say nap time started becoming a lot more predictable once my daughter turned a year old. Hopefully this will be the case for you too!
