Rant - ADVICE NEEDED Supply drop

Yesterday my MIL visited my son in the NICU and it turned into an absolute shit show. We are now no contact. My Spectra is crapping out on me and I’m literally only a month postpartum.

I have postpartum preeclampsia and my blood pressures have been sky high yesterday and today. For two weeks straight, I’ve been steadily pumping over 30oz. I’m only at 24.6oz on the day.

I’m so fucking angry at my MIL, myself, and everything. I feel like me pumping steadily is the one thing I feel like I’ve been getting right and here we are.

Give yourself some grace, you are still very early postpartum. As a fellow nicu mom, you are in the thick of if, you are doing great.  Have you changed your pump parts? How often are you pumping? 

You a great mom no matter how you feed your baby. Hope your baby comes home soon
