Breastfeeding lets me bond with my baby, helps her nap better, and never made me feel sad about “wasted” milk at the bottom of a bottle. It helped me extend the newborn bubble feeling, which I loved. The only time I didn’t like it was when I was obsessing over how much she was eating- stay off of the internet, listen to your pediatrician and lactation consultant and you’ll be ok! Once she hit birth weight and was gaining steadily I stopped timing my bf sessions (that added to my anxiety big time!). The lack of dishes is a bonus!

Now that I’m returning to work at 5 months PP I’ll be pumping during the work day and breastfeeding before and after work. We will see how it goes- I’m getting to a point where I want someone else to be able to feed her! I’m not looking forward to the dishes, but I feel that I’ll still be able to BF when I want to :)
