Crying over spilt milk
| Fri, 04-08-2005 - 11:43pm |
Wahhh!!!! This afternoon, I reached into the fridge to get something and a bottle of bm fell out and dropped on the floor. I lost 2-3oz which for me is practically a whole pumping session (I'm a lvp). I wanted to cry as I cleaned up the pool of milk on the kitchen floor. My mom (who witnessed the tragedy)was sympathetic, but I knew she didn't truly feel my "pain" - I just needed to share this with some women who I know could related to how precious every drop is.

I've BTDT! I spilled a 6 oz. bottle last month when I was making Cooper a bottle. All but an ounce ran out. I was so aggravated and upset that when I went to make the second bottle, I poured the milk too fast and some hit the rim of the bottle and ended up on my counter also. (Probably another ounce)
I pumped for 45 minutes to make that first bottle

I used to cry whenever I spilled milk .. it happened a few times .. so be prepared.
I definetely know how you feel. emily's been sick so the other night I tried pumping in bed so I could kind of tuck her into my indian-style legs. Well she started crying so I propped the bottle and pump against a pillow (so smart!) and started tending to her. My moving caused the matress to shift and the milk dumped over onto the bed. I grabbed it quick and was relieved that not even an ounce had spilled. I decided to be "smart" and put the pump on the night stand. As I turned back around to get the baby, my sleeve caught on the handle of the pump and knocked it down between the bed and the nightstand. Needles to say, I couldn't get to it fast and lost a whole side's pump. Me and Emily cried together for a while after that.

BTDT!
Soooo frustrating! I have spilled my milk a few times, but I think the time that still stands out in my mind was the time the LC spilled a 2-3 oz. bottle on my DS's face in the NICU. It's hard to know how to handle that graciously! She, of course, apologized profusely, and I, of course, said, "That's okay." But she said, "no it's not, really," and it was so awkward.
