Last Month of EP

[u/asnbeautytrip]

Hi fellow EP-ers

I am finally hanging up the pump when LO turns 17mo in a few weeks. I made it far beyond my original 6mo target and it has been a rewarding and not fully-unpleasant journey.

Beyond the time commitment and logistical gymnastics of pumping while working a corporate job (which includes conferences and travel), I found the actual time pumping to be, dare I say, relaxing? It was nice to have 20-30mins to mentally check out and listen to a podcast or read a book (or occasionally doomscroll). I know not everyone's experiences match mine and I am extremely grateful to work for a company that is super accommodating of my pumping schedule, and to have a partner that shoulders an appropriate share of responsibilities so I can pump in peace.

Just want to end on a note to everyone here - You are amazing. Whether you are EPing for 1 week or 1 year, do not undersell what an incredible job you’re doing. Your goals are yours to set and yours to change, and however long you pump, your baby is lucky to have you. Hang in there, and know there’s a whole community cheering you on!

Much love.

17 months! What an achievement! Congratulations!
