Constant Companion
1:22 pm
My pump has been my constant companion now for almost a year.I'm typing now while attatched! I definately have a love/hate relationship with it, how could I not?
In many ways I'm feeling a sense of relief getting to one year, the pressure is off to a certain extent. Ernest eats more family food now, and only takes about 700 mls of breastmilk a day. I know I'm so lucky to be able to pump that for him.
Going through my photographs over the past year I was surprised to see I had taken more breastfeeding photos than I thought I had, and in some of them we even look happy.
I know it's an indulgence, but I wanted to share some of our feeding photos here.
My intention is to take more of him feeding,even with his bottle. I still hate bottles,but I want a record of how we feed,and I want to try to be proud of pumping for him.

The fact you have pumped for so long is an amazing achievement! You are probably sick of people saying this, but it is true. xx
ReplyDeleteDitto what Catherine said. And you are right you do look properly happy in some of these photo's.

What a sweet, darling boy - and what a good mother. You are such a good mother to *all* of your children. Beautiful to see.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joy - also feeling "insanely proud of you!" I don't know you except through your blog, but I do feel that.
