💪 Let’s Talk About Something Important 💪
To every parent who exclusively pumped because latching didn’t work out: YOU ARE A WARRIOR.
I see you. I hear the doubt in your voice when you say “I couldn’t get them to latch, so I just pumped.”
Stop right there. ✋
There is NO “just” about pumping around the clock. There’s no “just” about:
• Setting alarms every 2-3 hours (yes, even at 2 AM)
• Washing pump parts constantly
• Planning your entire day around pump sessions
• Carrying that pump bag everywhere
• The mental load of tracking output and storage
Here’s what I know as both a healthcare professional AND someone who’s been there:
Whether your baby got your milk through latching, exclusive pumping, or combo feeding - YOU PROVIDED HUMAN MILK. Period. That’s incredible.
🏆 Your feeding journey deserves celebration, not explanation.
Instead of judging HOW babies get fed, let’s focus our energy on supporting parents who WANT to provide human milk - however that looks for their family.
