Confession: I absolutely love breastfeeding ... But I HATE pumping 😩

@mariahpeterson, if you don’t mind me asking, how did you go about selling your extra milk? I’ve been considering it

I dislike it until I see what I pumped out , typically 10-13 oz every 3 hrs

Breastfeeding was super difficult for us. My son struggled with latching. So for me, it was usually much easier and quicker to pump and feed him bottles of my pumped milk. I am a working mom, so I had to pump at work as well, but it forced me to take breaks, which was a positive.

Same!!! The sound and feeling get to me so bad.

Womp womp womp womp....

I can relate. This time around I'm going to buy myself 2 haakas to just attach to myself during the day and when baby is latched on one side to just collect milk. It gets to be a lot being stuck in one spot for 15-30 mins 🤦‍♀️

Same. And when I do pump I'm just discouraged that I can't bang out 10 Oz no matter what I do with my intake

I had the opposite..

Breast feeding was awful for me, I didn't like it🤷🏻‍♀️

I loved pumping tho, so easy, quick and efficient! And bottle feeding was much easier and better for my little one. I was an over producer (family history of it) and I was producing about 110oz a day and had to pump every 2 hours including at night. I sold over 7,000oz and had 11,000oz in the freezer and after getting mastitis and a fever of 108f 3 times I had to stop at 3.5 months

Same! I know that’s why I don’t have a big milk stash.

Same !

Same here...
