This here Breastfeeding and now Pumping is a true test of my faith and will power. I am usually one to quit something that I don't really have to do, first it was quitting college since I have had two high paying jobs since I was 19. I will currently be graduating next year. Then with my first dtr at age 18 I quit breastfeeding because formula was easier. I'm three months strong exclusive breastfeeding with occasional bottle. Now pumping non stop to try to store up for my return to work next week. I am so proud of myself, even with the negative comments I get from people who don't get it even family, I persevered thru the pain. In my culture breastfeeding is not so common but I'm doing it and plan to do it as long as my baby wants to. Anyone who been feeling like quitting on BF keep pushing its for the best it is part of the sacrifice as a mother that we make one of many but one that is truly beneficial to your baby's health and your relationship with the child. *No intent to offend those who are unable or elect not to breastfeed, just my testimony*
