Everything I Learned While Exclusively Pumping Breast Milk for Twins by Fort birthday Mommy Blogger, Leah Frances Debut book now for sale on Amazon.
Exclusively Pumping breastmilk is usually presented as an inferior choice (or an afterthought) to breastfeeding. I know that finding good information was hard. So here are my ABCs from Alcohol to Clogged Ducts.
When you are exclusively pumping where do you turn for help?
This Sucks – Pump Like a Pro, Practical Tips for Exclusively Pumping, shares the absolute best of what I learned while I was EPing. I’m here to support whatever feeding journey you are on, regardless of the form it takes – breast, bottle, tube, or cup. I’m here as a cheerleader, whether you gave birth to the child you are feeding or not; whether you are feeding children inside or outside of your family.
Over the span of 18 months, I spent 1900 hours pumping for my twins, averaging 3.5 hours a day of just pumping. Can you believe I pumped somewhere in the neighborhood of 37,500 ounces? – that’s nearly 300 us gallons (1100 liters). Oh, and saving myself nearly $20,000 in specialty formula costs. Pumping Breast Milk was my full-time job.
Normalizing Breastfeeding needs to include Exclusively Pumping.
Last fall I wrote a series of blog posts with my best tips for EPing. And, thanks to a great personal challenge from some blogging friends it grew into 15,000 words that distills all the things that I learned.

People end up relying on their own trial and error or the limited information they can crowdsource. This makes a person more likely to quit, be in pain, or be emotionally and physically overwhelmed by pumping. I want that to stop.
