When I decided to breastfeed my son, I had no idea how strenuous it would be mentally, physically and emotionally. I've had many moments where I wanted to stop. Being tied to a pump 5-7 times a day [averaging around 21-28 hours a week] is not for the light hearted. I've had to work hard to build and maintain my supply while also attempting to maintain my sanity π
I've saved our family thousands of dollars with my milk. I recently hit 7.5 months breastfeeding. Equaling just over 50 gallons of life sustaining liquid gold. I'm proud of myself! And if you're breastfeeding or ever have breastfed, I'm proud of you too!
Wishing a Happy Breastfeeding Month to all you wonderful parents on the same journey π
It's worth it all to see my little milk drunk man sleeping peacefully with a full and nurioushed belly π₯Ή
