* 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.

I breastfed my son for almost 2 months but then my body stopped producing milk, the doctors couldn’t figure out why my body done this but it hurt my feelings big time when it happen I so badly wanted to breastfeed my son and it hurt know my body physically was not able to
My baby is 9 months and still going strong.
I agree. Breastfeeding is so amazing. I love the bond I have with my baby girl.
@priscilla.nicole.tansy, It really wasn’t bad. He only bit me a few times so it wasn’t really an issue. He would just want to nurse more when teeth were coming in to give him some comfort.
@ek620, it really is! I plan to breastfeed for a year at the least. How did you manage the teething?
Breastfeeding is the most beautiful thing in the world. I breastfed my son for 14 months & I was thinking today how much I missed it.
@amberrosiee, oh my goodness, that sounds rough! I would’ve been frustrated, I bet you were. How awesome that things worked out for you in the end though, kudos to you for not giving up!
My first would not latch and having a bottle didn't help so I exclusively pumped for almost 2 months. Now my second latched almost right away and have ebf since and even though the let down is hard to get through I'm loving every minute of it.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips!
Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...
Because I have to be on mental health medication after birth I am unable to breastfeed😔 what are some good formulas for babies? I know breast is best but I can’t be on the medication I need and breast feed.
Breastfeeding is hard. It's pushed on you as "the right thing to do". I had a hard time with my milk not comeing in and then a drop in my supply. So I formula fed my baby when he was still hungry after breastfeeding. Not everyone has an easy time and it can actually be very painful to some. I got lucky to have a baby who has a perfect latch so I had no pain. Even with a good latch I still got milk blisters. Although I wanted to breastfeed and was all for it I considered stopping so many times. P...
I always hear about "alot" of ladies getting induced at 37-39 weeks without a medical reason...but I honestly never see these posters. If you were "medically" induced between 37-39 with no medical reason, please share. Straight up being nosey, no judgement 🤷🏾♀️

Reasons why I should have my son taken away from me for neglect:
@amberjacq, girl I may not understand what you went through and I can only imagine how difficult it’s been for you to accept, but I feel for you and your situation! I’m sure you and your son still have an amazing bond and that he loves you just as much as he would’ve if breastfeeding did work out for you... and if not, more. ❤️
