Were you able to nurse your baby?
I am incredibly blessed that I was... but it wasn't without a rocky start or lots of struggles along the way.
What was your experience? As the sad time for weening has come, I wanted to reflect back.
Things learned while Nursing.
#1 It is possible to work full time and nurse... without bottles. You can master Nursing Faster Than Pumping.
#2 Nursing is a miracle. One bonus if you struggle to begin nursing is that you will have an incredible appreciation of its beauty.
#3 When problems arise with nursing, the solutions can come in unlikely places like the grocery isle.
#4 Nursing is an Adventure... Both for you and your baby. My son used to think he should go running while I nursed.
#5 Don't give up when biting starts. It does get better.
What did you learn while trying to nurse your baby?
I learned that other's opinions of me breastfeeding really don't matter. :)
ReplyDeleteJenny,
DeleteThat is invaluable. I'm curious though, did you have some supportive people around?
