Between breastfeeding and pumping all day every day I have had a lot of extra time to read. Unfortunately, I feel like I’m in a bit of a reading slump. A few of the books I’ve read lately have been so slow moving I find myself choosing to scroll through social media instead of reading (what?!!). Hopefully, my upcoming reads will hold my interest more. Luckily, for the reviews and recommendations this month I included a four-star review and an easy, cute romance pick.
Our third little one just surprised us with his arrival SIX WEEKS EARLY!! Because he is a preemie, I can only bottle feed him breastmilk until he gains the strength and energy needed to breastfeed (which may take a while). This means I have joined the exclusive pumping club.
I have to tell you, exclusive pumping is so much more work than just whipping a boob out when needed. You have to first pump every 3 hours, then make the bottles, and clean all the bottle and pump parts. It’s a job! But there are items to help make pumping a little easier and more comfortable. Below read what I think are pumping must-haves.
The hours of sunlight are getting shorter each day and that only makes me want to curl up with a good book even more than normal. I hope you find your next great read in my following book recommendations. Plus, with the holidays coming up you might want to start thinking about what books would make great gifts for your friends and family.
