They say hindsight is 20/20. Lucky for you, this mom is sharing her lessons learned so you can spot what's coming from a mile away.
A little over two years ago, I set out to breastfeed my first born. I couldn't ask my mother for advice because when my mom had me, breastfeeding wasthe norm. There was a lack of education on the benefits of breast milk, and many were considered “poor” if they breastfed because people assumed they couldn't afford formula. So with no lessons to be passed down, I wanted to ensure I was educated and prepared.
Oh my gosh, she is so beautiful! Please place her on my chest now! Where is the lactation consultant? I need to breastfeed!’ Initially, things with my daughter went rather smoothly. She latched with no problem and she sucked with no problem. But–the pain! I felt like my nipples were being ripped off during every feeding. I would clench my jaw and close my eyes and bite through each agonizing session. Despite the pain, I loved breastfeeding my daughter. It was an endless, emotional and amazing journey for us.I had things under control, something new would shock and surprise us.
