Today is World Breast Pumping Day, and as someone who was an exclusive pumper for my daughter, this day holds a special place in my heart.
Pumping is breastfeeding.
It’s dedication, time, planning, patience, washing parts at 11pm, making bottles at 3am, and doing it all again tomorrow. It’s coolers, schedules, apps, storage bags, and so much love.
However you feed your baby, if pumping has been part of your journey, you know it’s work. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. And you deserve to be recognized for that effort and the intention behind it.
To all the pumpers - exclusive, combo, back-to-work, part-time, and “just trying to make it to tomorrow” - I see you. I’ve been you. I deeply respect what you’re doing.
Pumping is breastfeeding, and today, we celebrate you. 💜
