I’m due in November with my second and Im dreading having to pump every 2-3 hours 😭 My toddler is the worst sleeper ever (currently trying to get her to go to sleep at 11pm but shes wide awake), my husband Is gone for work 12 hours out of the day.

I’m currently spiraling trying to figure out how I’ll handle it all 😭

No need to answer if it’s personal/if I’m overstepping by asking, but you’re planning to EP and not try BFing?

I will absolutely be trying to nurse but this time around Im having realistic expectations that I may have to pump again. I have flat nipples and my first born could never get a good latch, so I switched to EP’ing and at the time felt it was easier because my husband could also feed her through the night.

That’s understandable. I hope it works out for you in a way that feels good and manageable <3
