The adage “there’s no use crying over spilled milk” does not apply to breast milk, people. It takes time and energy and lost sleep to get that stuff in a bag and in the freezer. My man fell asleep and forgot to put an entire 5 oz bottle in the fridge one night and I had a complete meltdown the next morning.

And I didn’t even feel bad about it for a minute.

These 10 people are having similar experiences, and if you’ve ever pumped while nursing, you know their reactions are 100% warranted.

10. Because literally no one loves pumping.

They say, 'dont cry over spilled milk' But breastfeeding moms can cry, coz only we know how much effort we put in, how precious that little bit of milk, how frustrating it can be when it spills. My daughter's lightning speed hand got it before I can even open my mouth..She just turn it upside down.. Its okay, she's 2yo.. Its okay..its okay..its okay *wooosaaaa* #breastfeeding #lactationcounselor #breastmilk #pump #toddlerlife #spilledmilk #spilledbreastmilk
