This is a blog to help support & reassure mothers who exclusively pump that they are amazing.
Most people don't realize what it takes on a daily basis to be able to exclusively pump for your LO.
Your day begins with washing pump peices, bottles, & then sterilizing them. Sounds easy right?
It's just the opposite! Try doing it over & over again throughout the day while feeding & taking care of your precious baby at the same time.
Pumping sessions range from 10-60 minutes 6-8 times a day. It takes away from time with your family, social life, & mama time. Imagine having to stop what your doing every three hours to pump.
It's not as easy as it seems. Most EP'ing mothers would love to be able to nurse their LO instead of having to sit next to a breast pump the majority of the day. Sadly though most EP mother do not choose this long, tough, & exhausting road that they travel down. We do so to provide the best for our children. I hope to be able to educate, encourage, & inform others about how hard & rewarding exclusively pumping can be!
