What about the mamas?

It’s world breastfeeding week.

What about the mamas who struggled to breastfeed? The mamas who pumped for hours and days on end with bleeding cracked nipples? What about the mamas who struggled to get their little one to latch? The mamas who tried every lactation drink, cookie and supplement there was? What about the mamas who tried through the tears to desperately get their hungry baby to feed? What about the mamas who doubted themselves every single day because “breast is best”? The mamas who got dirty looks or shamed when they pull out the can of formula instead of a breast? The mamas who tried with every ounce of strength left in their exhausted body to breastfeed but couldn’t? What about the mamas who simply believe fed is best?
