Now, all mothers who have used the breast pump before, you
can relate and know what I mean when I say “crying over spilled milk”. No, I’m
not talking about the popular saying, but the real action of crying,
waterworks, red eyes…etc. And this picture I found on Instagram is such a TRUE STATEMENT!!!!
So I’m in my prime nursing days since giving birth only a
little over a week ago. With my first child, whenever I pumped, I produced a
lot of milk! Even so that in the first 5 minutes of doing so, I filled the
containers. When the containers are full, if you are still expressing milk, it
starts spilling out. So you could imagine how much attention I gave to my
sessions.
There was this one time when I was
pumping, I noticed my storage containers were getting full so I looked around
for some more to use. When I found two more, I turned off the pump and quickly
replaced the full containers with empty ones, placing the full ones near my pump.
As I turned around to quickly begin pumping again, I knocked over both of the
full milk containers. Yes, I started pumping again, but boy did I cry! It was devastating
at the moment even though some may say it wasn’t a big deal, but it was to
me!!! My husband had to calm me down and eventually I was fine even though I got
so stressed out in a matter of minutes!
My advice would be to make sure you
have everything in reach when you have your pumping sessions to prevent any
accidents from occurring!!!
Love,
A mother who has spilled milk
