I know this list could go on for days, but you get the point. Breastfeeding is hard, especially when there aren’t many people on your side. It’s something you can’t understand unless you’re a mother. Mother to mother, if you ever need a breastfeeding cheerleader, I’M HERE! I’m here for all of you amazing, worthy, hard working breastfeeding mommas! I understand the struggle and the heartache. But we just have to keep pushing forward no matter where breastfeeding judgement is coming from, whether it be about where or how long.
Keep doing what is best for your baby because no one else matters!
Parenthood:
it’s not about you anymore.
