Here are my top 5 #breastfeeding items that I love!
Let’s be real. Breastfeeding is not easy. There are a lot of ups and downs along the journey.
If it weren’t for my #postpartumdoula I wouldn’t have breastfed Fitz for a year. I had a lot of pressure to supplant which isn’t what I desired. There’s nothing wrong with using formula if that’s what’s best for you and baby, but I wanted to connect and bond through the intimate journey of nursing.
It was tough. The days were long. There were many pumping sessions. Lots of waking and bottles to clean but it was worth it.
With Harper, I still needed support. Figuring out positions. Chiropractic adjustments and just learning a new baby. Thankfully, my doula was right there to support me.
With Hendrix, I still had challenges. I had to lean on all of my providers. Since Hendrix had a slight tongue tie, we did all the things to release it and it finally helped him get some relief and we are still going strong!
Breastfeeding requires support and tools. Don’t feel bad if it’s tough for you. It takes some of us up to 6 weeks to feel like ‘we got it’ and that’s 100% normal!
