I have a meeting in another building in 3 minutes but if you think I am turning this pump off while the milk is flowing, you're nuts.

I bet a 14-year-old boy thinks a breast pump is something much cooler than what it actually is.

Remember when you used to use the breast pump and sing Madonna's "Express Yourself"? Hahaha! Oh, wait we didn't do that either.

Hiding in a closet pumping twice a day is GETTING PRETTY OLD. Also, accidentally licking breast milk off my iPhone screen.

It's time to pump milk again. Can I get paid to pump? Or at least receive a free smoothie with every five bottles I fill?

My 4yo son lovingly refers to my wife's breast pump as "the boobiesuckerthing." He's also called my chest, "boobies." This can't end well.

Well I successfully got unhooked from pump, consolidated milk, put in fridge and got to the bathroom before puking. Gold star?

Just cried while throwing out my old breast pump with the milk stains still in the tubing. The pump that made those funky noises, was a pain to use and clean, and helped me nourish my two babies now almost 4 and 7. Parenthood is complicated.

When I stored wife's breast pump away I accidentally included tips from a cake-icing gun. The next baby is gonna get some cool-shaped milk!

I canβt even describe how angry and jealous I am that people like Hannah get to have breast-pump backpacks. I had my child in the Stone Age!

The 2yo just tried to play my breast pump like a trumpet. Also, I scored more pics for the Photos To Show My Daughter's Future Dates album.

Whoever said they've never cried over spilled milk has obviously never spilled 8ozs of breastmilk they just finished pumping.
