Exclusively Pumping Mom Tell-All | Everything you should know about exclusively pumping for your little one from storage to tips, hacks, and more!
When I started exclusively pumping, I had more questions than answers.
Every time I figured one thing out, three more questions popped up. Which pump should I use? How often should I pump? How do I store milk safely? What parts actually need replacing? What if my supply changes? Why is no one talking about this?
I spent countless hours researching, reading, comparing products, asking questions, and learning through trial and error. Some lessons came the hard way.
After more than five years of exclusively pumping for three babies—and still pumping today—I finally decided to put everything I wish I'd known from the very beginning into one place.
This 84-page guide is designed to be the resource I wish someone had handed me on day one.
Inside you'll find practical, real-life information about choosing a pump, building a schedule, storing milk safely, cleaning pump parts, bottles, freezer stashes, traveling, public pumping, MOTN Pumps, breastfeeding rights, D-MER, high lipase, common pumping terms, troubleshooting, product recommendations, helpful hacks, encouragement, and so much more.
Whether you're preparing for your first baby, unexpectedly finding yourself exclusively pumping, or supporting someone who is, this guide was written to answer the questions you already have—and many you haven't even thought to ask yet.
My goal isn't to tell you that exclusively pumping is easy.
It's not.
But it doesn't have to feel so overwhelming.
If this book can save you hours of searching, help you avoid some of the mistakes I made, answer your late-night questions, or simply remind you that you're not alone, then it's done exactly what I hoped it would.
From one pumping mom who's lived it, learned it, cried through it, celebrated it, and is still doing it—I hope this guide helps make your journey just a little easier.
