7 months breastfeeding and I cannot even begin to explain how proud of myself I am. The first month I was just soaked, every day. I pumped after feeding baby for 30 minutes just to get relief. My breasts were the size of those mini watermelons. But these moments make me realize it is all WORTH IT. Every pain I experienced, the hard nights, waking up every 1-3 hours when he was little. These are the best moments of my life, the bonding, the eye contact, the reconnection after I come back from the store. I love being able to provide my son with everything he needs when he needs it. Every time he cries because he’s hungry it’s bittersweet, i know his tummy hurts and he needs me. Our journey wasn’t easy at first, I needed to use a nipple shield for 4 months. Which meant I had to wash it after every use instead of just going back to sleep, just an extra step. I’m so proud of myself. I was made for motherhood. ❤️
