Hiya! Just catching back up after being absent for a long long time. Congratulations on your outrageously awesome effort. From one working expressing mumma to another - I can not even begin to express to you how proud I am of you (yes you woman I have never met.) Because I know how hard it is and I know how it feels to express, eat your lunch, return emails and call home to see how the kids are going all at the same time. You are a superwoman and while at some stage you may drop certain superwoman responsibilities and reallocate your time elsewhere, it doesn't make you any less of a superwoman. Congratulations hun, you are amazing and have done awesome. No matter what the outcome from here on in, be proud. Be very proud.
Today I was at home, and I gave DS2 four bfs over the day, but every single feed he's needed a meal or a bottle too.
And I'm officially dropping down to one or no expresses per day at work.
As in, I'll still aim to do one a day, but if I'm too busy, or if I want to take a break rather than do a pump, then that's ok. I am giving myself permission, with the knowledge that DS2 is eating great, is 95-99pc and I have done a good job nourishing him til now.
And I'll keep giving him bf before and after work, as needed, but I am acknowledging that this is now more about bonding and cuddles than actual milk.
And that too is ok.
I keep reminding myself that this is ok, and this is the natural progression of things.
