Crying over spilled milk - exhausted vent

in Parenting after a Loss

So my boys are going through a growth spurt and want to eat every 2 hours for at least 45 minutes. We are pumping and doing bottles at night and my supply is barely keeping up. Last night was pretty brutal and I actually spilled a whole bottle's worth of milk in my exhausted, clumsy state. Cue tears. Crying Luckily I had some frozen that we were able to thaw quickly. I don't think I got more than a couple hours of sleep.

However, most days are not that rough and the snuggles make it totally worth it. We all got a little bit of a nap earlier while I held them on the couch with my awesome twin nursing pillow. Their sleeping faces bring me so much joy. Smile

    ((Hugs)) That's the worst! Last night I left out 9oz and had to dump it this morning. I wanted to cry.

    It gets easier and better with time!

    The good thing about breast milk is that you can always make more.  :)

    MH spilled pumped milk on a Saturday and then i spilled some the very next day.  It was a rough weekend and I cried ugly tears both times. 

    Sounds like the boys are doing great though!  Glad you all got a little rest.
