Pumping and Feeding
This is a rant about pumping, breastfeeding and lactation consultations. Unfortunately, I have just 2.5 minutes before I'm done pumping and can go have a nap before the feeding cycle repeats so this will be short. I hate:
The pressure to breastfeed
The non joined up way that post partum staff and lactation consultants work
The lack of bedside manner of one particular lactation consultant who told me I was pumping enough when I was juggling my time between the Nicu, home, recovery from a c-section and pumping. I just cried my eyes out then and there (apparently, you need to pump every two hours)
How much my boobs hurt
How much time I'm spending in my underwear
How the twins are finding breastfeeding too much hassle
The list goes on but sleep is more important.
