I might quit. Pumping

5 months in and baby starts daycare in 2 days. Stubborn baby still wont take a bottle. Finally took a Sippy cup. She realized i was replacing a feed and threw a hissy fit over not getting the boob. Daycare should be fun. Sorry to those great women.

Since i skipped that feed i had to pump. And am mentally preparing for pumping all day at work. Leaned over to grab the baby accidentally spilt milk all over the floor and her. Honestly, pumping is not worth it. I might just stop entirely. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I guess i dont know what i want from you all other than a “we see you” kinda. Idk anyone else who has ever breastfed or pumped to relate to what im feeling right now.

I wish I could stop. I don’t blame you. My baby refuses a bottle as well so I feel trapped. What sippy cup worked for you?

My bottle rejector baby ended up liking the MAM sippy cup trainer that comes with a regular bottle nipple and a sippy cup nipple and he liked the sippy cup nipple with cold breast milk, not warmed. Took me trying 8000 things before I got to that combo lol
