3) Set household expectations Try "I need 30 minutes to pump at 2pm - can you handle ____ during that time?" instead of "You never help!" What matters most is that your little one is nourished by your love, whether you are exclusively breastfeeding, combo feeding or otherwise. You will always be their whole world!
