1 year of EP
I can’t believe I made it a whole year !! I never planned on EP but after my son was born and in the NICU I had to pump and then it became a thing as he preferred bottles more. I do sometimes wish I tried harder to nurse but I’m so damn proud of myself! I lost countless hours of sleep and scheduled so many things around my pumping times. I’m an overproducer and have given away frozen milk to 10 different babies. I still have a freezer stash that will last me at least 2 months. I will be trying to slowly quit as I don’t want to get a clogged duct or mastitis but I can’t believe I’m at the end of my journey. Currently holding my baby and rocking him to sleep before his first birthday tomorrow and I’m sobbing. I did it. 1 year of motherhood and pumping.
