World Breast Feeding Week 2021 -
It’s worth the read for something special at the end.
Sharing photos of something so special and intimate can make even the most confident public feeder feel anxious. But let us ask ourselves why ?
I was able to breastfed my youngest this time round . I was determined to feed him this time as I was not able to breastfeed my eldest for various reasons.
But it didn’t come without It’s struggles and days where i wanted to give up and go full time formula.
We ended up going mostly 80% breastfeeding and 20% formula (combine feeding ) this was due to my husband being away 2 months after birth and I was struggling with a shallow latch baby and red raw ni***es . Giving a bottle gave me and my b***s a break until we got into a better place and went Exclusively Breastfeeding for a while.
I was lucky to be supported by my loved ones , especially my sister who helped as best she could during a pandemic giving me feeding support where in person breastfeeding support stopped .
why does it slightly scare me to share on such a public platform?
Because the world sadly doesn’t see this as the norm. And I will do my best in changing that, raising my children to share with others,the importance of breastfeeding .
I will also hopefully become a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter later on this year .
I celebrate alongside all you 💕🤱🏽
