One year of breastfeeding. And I tracked every single feed. 🤍
895.6 hours. 1,589 night feeds. 1,210 oz of milk donated. And an estimated 250 litres of milk produced.
I started tracking because I was sleep-deprived and could never remember which side I’d last fed on. Somewhere along the way, curiosity got the better of me, and I wanted to know what a year of breastfeeding actually looked like in numbers.
The results surprised me. Not because I expected breastfeeding to be easy, but because it’s so easy to lose sight of just how much time goes into it when you’re living it one feed at a time.
And yet, these numbers still don’t tell the whole story. They can’t measure the comfort, the connection, the sleepy cuddles, or the countless times I’ve been exactly what Winnie needed.
They also don’t capture the privilege of being able to donate milk to help other babies, including those in NICU. 🤍
Whether you’ve breastfed for a day, a month, a year, or beyond, your journey is yours. And every journey deserves to be celebrated without comparison.
Save this for a little reminder of just how much goes into breastfeeding, or share it with a mum who deserves to feel seen. 🤍

Amazing!! I’m 3.5 years in and have tracked over 10,000 feeds for 3400 hours so far, only tracking day feeds (and forgetting to track a LOT of them🤣)!🫶🏻
