How am I supposed to continue this?!
I’m 7 weeks PP, the first few weeks my pumping journey was going great. I was technically over supplying but already made a huge freezer stash. It was easy to pump on a 2-3 hour schedule because my husband was home on leave and the first weeks he went back I had lots of family help during the day.
Now that we’re in the swing of things and I don’t have consistent help during the week, I cannot keep up with my schedule. My baby is quite the Velcro baby and cries when I put him down. Yes, he naps during the day and I pump when I can, but it seems almost impossible now especially when I have other things that need my attention in the house (dogs, washing bottles, feeding myself). It’s almost like my baby knows I’m about to pump and just starts having a complete meltdown, I just feel like giving up. My supply has taken a hit too due to not being able to be consistent. I’ll take any advice but I just don’t know what advice I could get, maybe I’m just ranting. I want to continue but it’s just so hard. I wish just breastfeeding him would be the answer but he doesn’t latch well and won’t get enough to eat, resulting in more crying and constant feeding.
