When Ivy was born and the lactation consultant told me they recommend breastfeeding until at least 6 months my first thought was “how the fuck?” Back then Ivy wasn’t latching on properly and my nipples were literally destroyed, I couldn’t breastfeed. Had to pump and bottle feed every time for the first month at least. I remember thinking “when will they heal” and “am I ever going to be able to actually breastfeed my baby?” Now look at me. It’s about to be 6 months on the 30th and honestly I didn’t think I’d make it this far. I’m pretty damn proud of myself.
