(3/4) "Eventually I decided I was ok with exclusively pumping. I did all this research, sat online for hours, researching what exclusively pumping meant. There aren’t that many resources for people who exclusively pump, so I read what I could and made it up from there. Spreadsheet after spreadsheets, and graphing. Oh my poor husband, he would say “do we really have to chart this?” and I would say “just write the numbers in the boxes”. He was extremely supportive, if I hadn't had him I would have probably given up. There was a while when it was about chasing every bottle, and then all of a sudden one day I was two bottles ahead, then I had enough to start a freezer stash. It’s been nearly 5 months now and it has paid off. I have been pumping about 40oz a day, which is pretty amazing, I’m pretty happy with it."
