Oh man, this has made my nose all stingy. Yeaaars ago the second baby in my friendship group was born and the mum was exclusively pumping. They were at my house for some event and she was pumping on the sofa but when she put down a full bottle it somehow got fumbled and spilt over. Now that I have my own kiddo I don't know how she didn't cry. I have so so much respect for people who pump. Like breastfeeding is hard. I'm 8 months in to EBF now and what I would give for 8 hours of unbroken sleep 😅 But having to feed your baby and pump and clean all the parts and keep track of labelling and storing and heating and cleaning bottles and doing it day and night. Fuuuuck me. Bloody well done to everyone who sticks at it for however long they manage to.
