How do people pump?!
As a currently EBF mum to a 9.5 week-old, I'm considering introducing pumping a few times to increase flexibility - but pumping feels like a bit of a nightmare! I've tried once to pump with a manual pump and barely got out 3ish Oz after an hour of trying, but also the sterilising, rinsing with cooled boiled water and air drying (which takes FOREVER) for only my pump parts and 1 bottle (which attaches to the pump) can take so long that I don't know if it's even worth it. Can anyone give me some advice/personal experiences/suggestions on how they manage this, as I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I should do!
To add: BF is a bit unsustainable for me going forward because of recurrent mastitis, less-than-normal tongue function for my little one which has led to massively long feeds (1-1.5hrs each) and poor latches. Any advice super gratefully received from a frazzled mum x
