We made it to two months EBF.

What an amazing journey this is.

I didn’t know breastfeeding would create a bond between me and my son.

I didn’t know that him looking up at me while eating would melt my heart.

I didn’t know it would hurt while we figured out the latch issues we had. I didn’t know the pain would get so bad I would cry and contemplate giving up. (Thank god for an incredible support team in my mom & a lactation consultant).

I didn’t know that once we figured out those issues and pain (two and a half weeks in) I would feel like a superhero.

I didn’t know that I would feel empowered because my body is able to feed my son.

Breastfeeding is the most amazing thing I’ve ever done. I’m proud of myself for getting through the pain. I’m proud of him for learning with me. I’m proud of us, I feel like we tackled something really hard together and it gives me hope for our future. I’ll take on anything with this guy and his daddy by my side.

Not TMI because I’m very pro-no cover.
