Does it get better?
I’m a little over 3 weeks in on this EP thing, and it is draining me. I am currently pumping 7x a day (including overnight pumps) and I’m yielding about 45oz/day and my baby is eating around 18-20oz. He is came early at 36w and spent a week in the NICU for respiratory support, but has surpassed birthweight by a full lb as of 2 weeks old and is doing great!
My boobs are GIGANTIC. I absolutely hate it. They look horrible in clothes and I do not feel at all like myself. I’m not having supply issues (thank goodness), but I just feel like the pumping around the clock + feeding him in between my pumps is draining me and takes up so much of the day. I also walk my dog and do all other chores between either pumps or feeds and I just feel like I’m drowning. Looking for some inspiration to keep going and to hear that it (hopefully) gets better at some point.
