The author reflects on the challenging journey of breastfeeding after giving birth, highlighting initial struggles with latching and diminishing milk supply. Despite obstacles, including clogged ducts and the frustration of pumping, the author successfully pumped milk for a year, emphasizing the importance of establishing a routine and using double breast pumps for efficiency. The author also shares practical tips, such as preparing feeds in advance, to ease the pumping process. Ultimately, the experience, though difficult, proved highly rewarding and encouraging for other mothers facing similar challenges.
I remember vividly the first few days after my baby's birth. Despite my determination to breastfeed, the situation didn't turn out as I had planned.
When I started pumping, the idea of pumping an entire year seemed impossible. But I managed to make it. It was a long year, sometimes impossible to endure, but also very rewarding.
Double breast pumps allow you to pump two breasts simultaneously, allowing you to do the work in half the time. It's not only time-saving but has also been proven to increase milk output.
I pumped extra milk whenever possible and stored it in the refrigerator for later use. If my baby needed to be fed immediately, I could grab a pre-pumped bottle.
