This week my daughter, my motherhood and
#mayanageneviere were born.
It’s no surprise it falls on
#worldbreastfeedingweek (a serendipitous series of events that was not intentional).
When I started breastfeeding I had so many challenges, I was told my nipple was the wrong shape, my milk wasn’t coming in fast enough, I sought help with a lactation consultant, I used a lactation aid, my daughter was tongue tied and on and on. So many things I was not prepared for - while I breastfeed exclusively for 550 days I don’t have one photo of that experience 😔 ( if your thinking about it - take the picture)
And then there was the discomfort of breastfeeding in public. I was travelling a lot then and was worried about what would be acceptable whether in a restaurant in my own back yard or another country. Where people think it’s okay to come up to you with their judgments an added stress a new mom does not need.
This
#breastfeedingawarenessweek theme is about protecting our right to breast...
