Becoming a mom is magical — but let’s be real… it’s also exhausting. Between feedings, diaper changes, pumping (or formula prep), and trying to take care of yourself, there’s one task that never stops:
Washing. Bottles. Nonstop.

In my first few weeks postpartum, I was completely tied to the sink.
Every bottle, every pacifier, every breast pump part — washed and sterilized by hand, day and night. Sometimes half-asleep, sometimes with a crying baby in one arm.

I started buying extra bottles and pump parts to survive the long nights. Still, I felt like all I did was clean.
Because let’s be honest:
When your baby finally naps, it’s not “me time” — it’s cleaning, folding laundry, eating, showering, trying to stay human.

I was drained.
