Milkwell Lactation

Something’s always gotta give. No-one does it all and does it well all the time without some sacrifice. All this talk about parents “embracing these early days” and “they grow so fast” make us feel like we have to do all the things to ensure we don’t miss out on anything. Except life doesn’t work like that. Life gets really unnecessarily hard when we approach it like that. It’s too much pressure. Instead, maybe we can offer ourselves grace in the process. One example would be to prioritize how we want to feel as we go about our days. Maybe we can make choices based on whether it will get us closer to how we want to feel. If not, we don’t do it. Can I enjoy my baby today AND this sunny gorgeous day AND go for a walk AND get in all my pumping? No? Then I guess I’m not gonna get in my pumping! And THAT’S ok!
