That breast milk is so good for babies because it is the only thing keeping me from tearing out my hair as I sit in a public restroom stall and pump numerous times this week. Forget labor, this takes away your dignity
One time I was pumping at school...one of my educators knocked on the door to see if whoever was in the stall was OK. A fellow student (18 years old) thought my pump was a bomb! So glad my breastfeeding days are done for now!
I feel for you. I haven't had to pump in public yet, but I have breast fed in my car in a variety of parking lots since Branton was born. A step up from a restroom.
I didn't mean to sound snotty by saying that I am glad that my days are done...I commend you for being so diligent in a challenging situation. Not many women would be able to do that!

You will have to remind Charlotte of this when she is older :-) Good to hear it is all going well, have a safe trip home!

In the future you will look back and laugh.
Hope your trip home goes well.
That reminds me of when you and I were at a conference and I kept leaving to go pump. Good for you. It really is worth it.
