Staying strong 💪

Honestly going almost 2 months pump is hard and I trying to pump every two hours a lot of time I go three hours and it is really hard. My baby is fed and happy and I get a little extra not a lot but allowing me to get a small stash. But I’m going to be honest sometimes I think why do I stress and worry so much about trying to increase my supply if baby is good. Then I’m reminded there’s babies out there that I can really help if I make it possible, I think about giving my 28month old son some extra in his milk(because he already forgot how much he loved it for two years​:joy:). I’m staying strong and keeping my mindset positive :folded_hands::heart_hands:t2:

I say the same thing myself why am I stressing about having a stash? I honestly think it’s a social media has made us feel like we need it.

Amazing! I give my 5 year old some milk here and there. He doesn’t notice. But it does help his immune system

Oh the stash worry is something! I read something that I keep repeating to myself whenever I find myself worrying about it: We’re here to feed our babies, not the freezer. It’s a very simple statement, but it helps me so much! Up until a couple weeks ago I was almost exclusively doing direct breastfeeding and I was losing my mind because I couldn’t build a stash, and reading this helped me ground myself and relax a bit. You’re doing amazing momma!

Don’t stress yourself out with the Oz!!! You are doing amazing so far and baby is well fed!!! I was so stressed the first few months and the moment I let go of the Oz BOOM I STARTED MAKING MORE MILK funny how that works I’m not saying that’s the case for all I’m just saying letting go of the stress is such a wonderful thing
