* Not here to bash on any mothers who do not breastfeed their baby(ies). #FedIsBest. I’m just here to share a simple candid moment, as I’m learning to be more open about breastfeeding ☺️

Breastfeeding does not work out for every mother due to medical reasons or personal reasons... I was scared that breastfeeding wouldn’t work out for my daughter or myself. The first month within having my daughter, I formula fed her at certain times when I was struggling with the discomfort of sore and chapped nipples, latching issues, the random cluster feeds as I ran on little to no hours of sleep, and I wasn’t producing enough milk... I picked up on ways to treat the discomfort and ways to boost my production, which lead me to a successful breakthrough and a healthy baby. I know how hard it can be (outside of any medical reason[s]) and I can gracefully say that I pushed through the difficulties in the beginning. The bond is unfathomable, the health benefits are incredible for both my daughter and I, and I am beyond thankful and blessed to have the opportunity to breastfeed as it works out in my favor! 💓 Especially with this baby being my first.
