In the world of breastfeeding, every drop of breastmilk is cherished, and no one understands this better than the popular influencer, Ava Collins. Recently, Ava shared a hilarious yet poignant video that perfectly captures the universal plight of nursing mothers: the agony of spilled breastmilk. If you’ve nursed a baby, you know it’s not just milk — it’s precious liquid gold, and every ounce feels like it holds the weight of the world.
Some women are fortunate to produce ample amounts of breastmilk, while others face challenges, and some may not be able to produce it at all. It’s an unfair reality, but one thing is universally true for nursing moms: EVERY. DROP. COUNTS.
Exhibit A
Exhibit A features Ava in a comical yet frantic attempt to salvage a small puddle of her spilled milk, using a syringe to scoop it up. “I spilled my breastmilk, and this is how crucial it is in this house,” she exclaims, showcasing her determination. Watching her maneuver like a chef at Thanksgiving dinner, it’s hard not to relate to her struggle.
Pumping breastmilk can be one of the most tedious chores for new mothers. Personally, I was one of those “generous supply” moms (and yes, I refer to my left side as a ‘gusher’ while my right had its own struggles). Any spill would send me into a rage, fueled by frustration at the pumping process itself.
