Liquid Gold in a Baby Bottle: Breast Pumping Diaries

A Breast Pumping Mom Cries Over Spilled Milk.

I’ve done it. If you’re breast pumping mom (especially exclusively) you might have cried over spilled milk too.

I set my alarm for 3 am, just had a thirty minute pumping session, and that precious liquid gold is now ready for baby for the next few hours.

If you are a breast pumping mom, you might have found yourself in this scenario too.

You may be shuffling to the kitchen to wash your pump parts and set them to dry for the next session.

You also might have noticed you’re snacking a little bit more too. Why did no one tell us how bad Postpartum cravings are???

You have become a pro at assembling and connecting yourself to the machine in darkness.

Welcome to the world of the exclusively pumping mom.

I’m in a few moms groups and have been told by a few nursing moms that they don’t know how I do it. They can’t imagine having to get up every 3-4 hours (thankfully I’m now at 6) to pump, wash parts and bottles, feed baby, and repeat.

But my response is, how could I not?

I feel so blessed that my body is still making that liquid gold for our growing baby. Nursing may not have worked out, but she is getting so much nutrition from it. Moments like this, make me put my pump together with pride.

Wanna know why I have cried over spilled milk? Because if I don’t have that bottle ready, there’s no alternative. I can’t just get her to nurse and we be okay. I have to bottle up that liquid gold and not waste a drop. It’s been 10 months and going strong for us and I’m so proud how far we’ve come in this journey!

Exclusively pumping mamas, I want to offer you encouragement. You are providing for your baby and giving them that precious liquid gold in one way or another.

    My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from
    PHP. I have always disliked the idea because
    of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
    I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.

    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be really appreciated!
