“Breast milk is better than any udder milk” 🍼🐮
•••••••
I always knew I wanted to breastfeed. When I found out I was pregnant I imagined breastfeeding would be so easy & no big deal. I never thought it would be this time consuming & hard. In the hospital after MiaBella was born, nursing her was difficult. She would not latch on & i had only a couple drops of milk. I felt like a failure & cried. Not being able to nurse her in the hospital broke my heart. We had to give her formula (which I didn’t want to do). It’s been a challenge for me , but I’ll continue to nurse her for as long as I can. I think it’s an amazing experience & am happy to be able to have that special connection with her. Knowing all the benefits of breastfeeding keeps me going. ✨moms; if you have any tips/tricks for breast feeding & increasing milk supply, let me know 👍🏼

Does your partner get to have a say on your breastfeeding relationship?
I welcome my husband's input in the way I feed our kids. His thoughts matter to me. If I completely disregarded his thoughts and feelings on any topic, I think I'd be failing to meet my end of the bargain that is a marriage.
I don't think I'd stop breastfeeding on his request alone, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try and work with him through our differences.
The motivation behind his request would matter greatly to me. If it was because he:
- felt left out, I'd work on finding new ways to include him
- thought breastfeeding wasn't important I'd help him find more factual information
- thought breastfeeding was disgusting and sexual past a certain age I'd be reconsidering my choice of husbands.
I can value his opinion and give him space to have a say without giving him control of my body or my breastfeeding relationship with my children.

Some people see a mess!
I see:
- cooperation
- creativity
- independence
- also a mess
How is your Monday looking?
The face of what it's like to find yourself thankful that you breastfeed after losing almost everything to a hurricane 💜❤️

'I had to wade through waist beep water with my baby in tow to higher ground. I rode out of the disaster area holding my baby in my arms with no car seat because we had to stuff as many members of my family as possible into an SUV. We rode past 2 car wrecks in the chaos with nothing between my baby and death but my arms. I may have lost everything. But my baby and I are alive and out of harms way. Now we are in suites at a hotel and this is me cooking and nursing him. I'm so glad to be nursing. I have had to worry about so many things over the past week but how I was going to feeding my baby was never one of them. People in my home town are scrambling, begging for formula donations. People were stranded in flooded houses with no way to a store and all of their babies formula water logged. I thank God that I chose to breastfeed. Y'all please pray for me, my family, and my area as we try to pick up the broken pieces of our lives. #hurricaneharvey'
