Being an exclusively pumping mama is hard work, especially when you start struggling with your supply but thankfully I'm getting it back up, pumped 9 ounces and I literally almost cried. I honestly wish i was able to breastfeed because this is exhausting, the whole 'sleep when baby sleeps' goes out the window when you're exclusively pumping, it's more like pump when baby sleeps, so if you're able to latch, be thankful that you can because there are woman who really can't breastfeed. #HeresToMe

I pumped for my preemie for his 7 week nicu stay. Had a great supply until we started breastfeeding. Now when I pump for work I barely get anything. I think you're doing an AMAZING job!!!! It's so tough but you are strong and you got this!!

I can't breastfeed because my baby is a preemie and he can't latch and because I exclusively pump I've lost my supply it's too stressful for my body I guess :(

Well I'm happy to see that your little one is thriving despite his start at life. Motherhood really does bring out a tough side of you, you didn't know was there. So good to you as well :D @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom

It really is stressful. Especially as they get older and spend more time awake. I've noticed when I stress the most is when I struggle the most with my supply :/ @rockysmommy

So awesome! I stopped breastfeeding when my baby was 2 weeks old. I wasn't producing more than 2oz a day and then I just dried out. I tried everything to get my supply going, and unfortunately nothing worked for me. So definitely take advantage of that awesome supply you have going on!

@pikapal, well I have to get up every three hours with him to make sure he eats to gain weight so I'm always stressed and tired and that can kill supply too :/
