In honor of #worldbreastfeedingweek I want to shar

In honor of #worldbreastfeedingweek I want to share with you our breastfeeding journey. It was very, very hard in the beginning. I had high hopes of getting through those difficult early weeks of supply issues, poor feeding sessions, extreme engorgement and coming out to the other side being that mom who could exclusively breastfeed her baby. I had a vision of what I wanted it to be, but that vision fell flat very quickly. I tried all the things. Every single supplement you could name, I bought. I drank gallons of water, sports drinks, I joined the support Facebook groups, had a lactation consultant on speed dial, but that exclusivity thing just wasn’t happening. But you know what did happen? Breastfeeding! I was able to and still am able to breastfeed William. He may not get the majority of his diet from my milk, but he gets a little, and we still get to have that time I cherish with him. Everyone’s journey is so different. I am so happy for the little I have, and I’m also so happy that we have nutritious formula for him to thrive on. What started out as a very rocky and emotional climb, has leveled out to a beautiful balance that works for us. And mamas, if you made the choice not breastfeed, you did that because you knew in your heart that it was best for you, and for your baby. And there is no better thing IN ALL OF MOTHERHOOD than to block out the noise and trust your instincts and put the well-being of you and baby first. I kind of wish it were called #worldbabyfeedingweek because whichever way you choose to feed your baby is best. How was your journey mama? Feel free to share in the comments, I think a lot of mamas would love to hear 💕💕#beautifulmotherhood #fedisbest #honestmotherhood
