Welcome Back
Sunday, May 26, 2013
Welcome back. That is what my pump said after being put away in a cabinet for the past year and a half. Actually it said "whrrr." To be honest, I was impressed it still worked! Since I am now a momma of twins I rented a hospital grade pump assuming I would be nursing and pumping 24/7. It's been ten weeks and I was right. The good news is that supply is not an issue for this second time mom.
To date my pumping adventures have been few and far between - but there have been some doozies. For example, being rushed to the emergency room with one twin and needing to pump there for the other at home on a BEAST of a pump that made me almost cringe when I put it on. Or, going out of town for two days and needing to pump on an airplane, first in the bathroom (disgusting) and then in just my seat (awkward - not for me really but for the girl next to me).
I am becoming a pumping pro in preparation for my return to work and have received a free double electric pump to try and represent at events for expectant moms. More later on my tips for successful pumping.
