A good pump that meets your needs is pretty much a must have, especially when you are in the military. You can do it! I also want to encourage you to set yourself up for success. I want you to nurse your baby, pump for your baby, hand express and spoon or syringe feed your baby. Now, I am not telling you this to discourage you from breast feeding. And my boobs were chapped, blistered and I wanted to cry just thinking of pumping or nursing. I pumped in bathroom stalls with this huge, loud, monstrous contraption and I was hurting. I was an active duty mom, a cook that was required to be away from her baby once it turned 6 weeks old. I would have also been informed that all I needed to do was ask someone for help. I would have known that there are resources available to us. Had I done my due diligence, I would have known that breastfeeding can be pretty challenging.
Someone had donated me a used Medela Pump in Style Tote and I figured that I was set. I just assumed breastfeeding would be easy and that is the mindset I had going into our very bumpy breastfeeding journey. When I expected my first child, NOBODY talked about how I would feed this little miracle once it was delivered safely into my arms. May sound like a weird obsession but I assure you, I have good reason. I am super passionate about breast pumps.
