What is Sew Eco Mom Pumps about? Well I am a new mother, and my sweet little 6 week old son is a huge challenge to feed. He doesn't like to nurse often, maybe a few times a day (on a good day). So what is a mommy who wants her baby to have breast milk and not pay a fortune in formula to do? PUMP!
The only issue I have came across is there are not a ton of moms who a.) Pump Exclusively or b.) are sharing their stories. So I thought I'd start this blog to not only keep track of how pumping is going for me, (so on a bad day, I can look back to a good day) But also for anyone mother who is in desperate search in the deep of the night looking for someone who knows how they are feeling about pumping for their little baby.
So... Here is a bit of background on me and my situation.
I am Sarah, I am 25 years old. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Kevin for 4years this August. I have a sweet 2 year old boy, Andrew. Who despite trying to breastfeed him, he ended up taking formula and is fine *Disclaimer : I am in no way saying anything bad about mothers who decide to formula feed their babies. I was there once before too. I am also not saying that breastfeeding makes you a better mother, because it's not true. You have to do what is right for you and your family! Then there is the member of my family that is making this blog a reality my sweet 6 week old son, Patrick. Who with out him, I would be sleeping through the night and not worrying about making enough milk to feed him, But I love him and believe all this hassle is worth it. So why did I tell you bout my family? Because Pumping is a decision that will effect your whole family. How? because my husband needs to pick up some slack when I have to pump. Like helping with dinner here and there, picking up the baby when he cries, taking Andrew to potty. Andrew is effected by the fact that there are times when mommy can't play because I have to pump, or he has to wait for a drink or snack
