It can feel like your baby will never be able to sleep without you and your milk.
I went back to work when my son was 6wo and my husband was a stay at home dad. He was always able to help our son off to sleep IF I wasn't around. But if I was there, my son would only sleep with a boob in his mouth.
The thing is everyone needs to sleep at some point. I would prefer to sleep naked on satin sheets in my husband's arms, but if I'm tired enough I can sleep on the floor. Your baby may prefer to sleep with you, but if they are tired enough they'll manage without you.
I've felt a bit deflated today after seeing comments questioning why we would celebrate breastfeeding milestones (like MP Larissa Waters breastfeeding in Parliament) when we claim breastfeeding is normal and ask for it to be recognised as such.
Walking is normal but we still got excited and celebrated when someone did it on the moon for the first time.
Breastfeeding IS normal, but it's not always recognised as normal. I truly look forward to the day breastfeeding is so normal that we all take it for granted but until we get there, I'll continue to get excited over each step toward that goal.
This is a comprehensive look at what's stopping breastfeeding from being the norm in the U.K.
Generally speaking, I feel like it's quite similar in Australia.

Why isn’t UK culture conducive to breastfeeding? And can it ever change? Helen Bird explores some of the reasons behind our low breastfeeding rates and looks at what could reverse the trend.
Do you find it challenging to stay hydrated while breastfeeding?
I keep a cup next to the kitchen and bathroom sinks, and my rule is that I drink each time I'm near one.
How about you?

Rebecca Tompsett Doula was a proud recipient of a Spectra S2 breast pump through the Pumping It Forward Project recently. She took a quick snap yesterday as she was taking the pump to a client who had just given birth to a preemie baby.
Thank you for all that you do Rebecca! I hope your client and her baby are doing well!
