Breastfeeding can be a rewarding experience for moms and their babies. But if there’s one piece of advice we can give to nursing moms, it’s this: don’t be too hard on yourself.⁣
⁣
For #BreastfeedingAwarenessMonth, we talked to some new moms that work in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Department at UCHealth. Over the next few days, they’ll be sharing their breastfeeding journeys and tips for other nursing moms.⁣
⁣
📷 Meet Dr. Anna Euser and her baby, Nell, who is celebrating 7 months today. Happy birthday, Nell! ⁣

“Part of my job as a Maternal-Fetal Medicine physician is to help moms know which of their medications they can safely continue during breastfeeding and which medications we may need to make adjustments to. It is rare that necessary medications prevent breastfeeding.⁣
⁣
I wanted to breastfeed but was unable to provide everything she needed so we have been using formula to supplement. Initially, it was difficult to wrap my head around the fact that my body could not support breastfeeding, but overall I’m happy that my daughter is healthy and growing well.⁣
⁣
Being a new mom comes with new challenges and new adventures. It is fun to see how she responds to all the new things she encounters and the snuggles are great, too!"⁣
