A real journey
That beautiful connection when your baby.
Nursing is an intimate moment between a mother and her baby. But it's not always easy, painless, beautiful or glamorous as this image may suggest.
It personally took us about 4 months until we could establish a healthy lactation. Crying from both parts significantly dropped then 🙏
We all have different journeys with , and it's important to remember that there's no right or wrong way to do it.
Some of us struggle with sore ni***es, latching issues or . Some have to deal with judgmental stares, unsolicited advice, or societal pressure to breastfeed in a certain way or for a certain amount of time.
But no matter what your experience is, you're doing an amazing job. Breastfeeding can be hard work, and it takes time, patience, and dedication.
So whether you're exclusively nursing, pumping, using formula, or doing a combination of all three, know that you're giving your baby the best possible start in life.
Let's celebrate the beauty and challenges of nursing, and support each other through the ups and downs. Because at the end of the day, we're all doing what's best for our babies and ourselves. 💕
