I met with a mama this past week who gave birth to her 2nd baby recently. It was so lovely to see her! She is a beautiful, strong mama who has really gone through some challenging times these past few months - everything from breastfeeding problems to her own health issues. And through it all, she kept up with breastfeeding. We talked about how and why she kept plugging away when many mamas may have given up. She mentioned how important it was for she and her baby in so many ways to fight through the issues, get help and to not give up. This is a true lesson for all new moms. You are not alone! Being a new mom is no walk in the park but there are many ways to find support.
I am so proud of her for working through everything. Now things are finally starting to settle down so she can enjoy her precious baby and the wonderful, empowering, beautiful experience of breastfeeding!
