3 Moms Are Reminding Parents That 'Fed Is Best' and That's Not Up for Debate
The image that accompanied it features three mothers in long flowing dresses, cradling their babies in their arms. The photo is warm and maternal, but it also immediately draws the eye to one unmissable fact: Each woman is feeding her child in a different way -- either by breast, by bottle, or by feeding tube.Saunders says the inspiration behind the photo was born from a lot of the pressures she herself felt to breastfeed.
The first time she watched her son become"milk drunk," her heart leapt. And when she so him putting on weight, she was overjoyed. "It really gave me a positive outlook on the fact that we are all mother's and we all have times where we feel like we're not doing our best," she says."As a community we should supporting one another and giving encouraging words in times of struggle. No one besides another mother will ever feel the emotions you do towards your child and it's something we can all stand together on.
"My son was born extremely premature," she explains. And while he did receive donor breast milk for the first nine months of his life via feeding tubes, he now gets blended foods through his G-tube."His tube allows him to get all the nutrition he needs since he still is not able to take anything by mouth," she explains.
By the looks of the comments on Facebook, it seems the message has certainly been heard -- loud and clear.
