| I feel much better this week. I've discovered a way to pump milk while feeding
Rebekah. I sit cross-legged on the floor and let Rebekah recline in my lap while I
feed her with one hand and pump with the other. Usually she falls asleep after a few
minutes, so I leave her in my lap and double-pump. This saves a lot of time and a
bit of hassle. I am definitely seeing an increase in milk supply pumping this way,
since she's so close to me and not screaming her head off as I pump! As a result of my renewed energy and newfound method of pumping/feeding, I've been able to turn our apparently tornado-stricken house into a semi-neat home. All the miscellaneous papers got picked up from the floor (placed in a box until I had the chance to go through and sort them). The floor got vacuumed. The endless loads of laundry finally got washed. I even managed to cook a good bit this week. A few weeks ago I didn't know how I was ever going to manage cooking dinner on a regular basis again, but as we settle into a routine, it doesn't seem so impossible. Are things finally getting "back to normal"? |
