Values it all seems to be a matter of values. How much of my time do I want to spend pumping and worrying about my milk supply so that I can use breast milk in Liam’s cereal? What efforts am I willing to go through to replenish my freezer stock? How long is long enough? How much is enough and at cost to what other things?
How long before my supply takes another blow and I need to have that stock to fall back on? Exactly how exclusive does one year have to be? One shouldn't cry over split milk, but I do.
For now I pump, once a day at night to fill that freezer back up. I feed him 5 times a day. I use my milk in his cereal. I do this until my freezer is full again. One year is one year. I do this because it is important to me. I hate pumping. Moo.
About Me
- Lora
- While I'm loving life in the Austin area, I mainly grew up in the Hudson Valley of New York. I’m a 38 year old INFP married to a very handy INTJ. We have a three year old that keeps life interesting and full of meaning, a little girl in the womb and a 9 year old puppy. I tend to take a Zen approach to life and, at least mentally, I’m always going off on one tangent or another. This really is just a hodge-podge of whatever’s on my mind at the moment with little rhyme or reason.
