🌟MYTH 🌟

Breastfeeding should NOT be painful. It should NOT cause ni**le breakdown.

My general explanation is that discomfort is common the first 1 to 2 weeks, but it should not be described as pain, should not last through the feeding, and should not damage the ni**le. If any of those are true there is likely an issue that needs evaluated and addressed.

Did you experience pain while breastfeeding or have a provider or friend brush it off and say it was "normal"?

🌟MYTH🌟

Formula is a wonderful tool and absolutely necessary in certain circumstances. It does however not hold the same benefits as breastmilk.

Breastmilk can and does change unlike formula! Its nutritional content adapts as baby grows and this is why breastfed infants often take less total volume than formula infants as they get older.

Breastmilk also contains antibodies and can reduce the risk of infections and cancers. It really is liquid gold.

Fed is required and formula can absolutely meet that requirement, but if we look at the facts breastmilk is best❤️

Have you ever had a provider tell you your breastmilk was good enough? Had one push formula when it truly was needed? I would love to hear your experiences.

*this is not to shame any mommas who choose formula, but to support those who have to fight to breastfeed*

🌟MYTH🌟
Did you know most women, regardless of their breast size, can produce sufficient milk for their babies!

Breast size can be associated with storage capacity but the overall total day volume can be quite similar. Aren't our bodies amazing?

Have you heard this myth before? What other myths about breastfeeding have your heard?

This doesnt mean swaddling should NEVER be done. Its a tool and can be helpful at times. But lets use it as a tool and not as a default. Movement is so great for our infants and so is skin to skin!

Extended breastfeeding moms, this is for you!

1. If you allowed your infant to self wean, how old were they?
2. If they self weaned, did they wean during the night on their own or did you night wean them but allowed to self wean during day?
3. How long was your goal to nurse for vs how long did you end up nursing for?

*No shame for anyone who breastfed for a short period! Any amount of liquid gold is fantastic!
