Quotes by Jessica Shortall (?)

“Guilt is a response to what you think you’ve done wrong. Shame is feeling that who you are is wrong.”
― Jessica Shortall, Work. Pump. Repeat.: The New Mom's Survival Guide to Breastfeeding and Going Back to Work

“If breastfeeding is causing you terrible anxiety, ruining your performance at work, hurting your relationship with your kids or your spouse—all of these are valid factors. You are more than the milk you make, and you are in charge of your body.”
― Jessica Shortall, Work. Pump. Repeat.: The New Mom's Survival Guide to Breastfeeding and Going Back to Work

“We are so, so proud of you for being a working mom and for giving this breastfeeding and working thing a shot. . . . Now get out there, attach a machine to one of the most sensitive and private parts of your body, and make the magic happen. You’re a warrior. You’re a badass. You’re a working mother, and that’s an amazing thing.”
― Jessica Shortall, Work. Pump. Repeat.: The New Mom's Survival Guide to Breastfeeding and Going Back to Work
