27 // The Unexpected Journey of Breastfeeding - a Mother’s Story of Nourishment Beyond the Boob

Breastfeeding is something many of us prepare so little for. So often a mother's milk journey is told with tears and admissions of being unprepared for something that was supposed to be so easy and natural. Laura's breastfeeding story may feel familiar. She did all the things to give her daughter Ivetta Mae the best nourishment, from pumping night and day, lactation support, donor milk supplementation, pumping affirmations, daily doses of oatmeal, brewers yeast, and fenugreek, to the difficult decision of surrendering to formula feeding.

Laura wants you to know that nourishing your baby goes beyond how they are fed. She wants you to know that if your efforts end in a formula fed babe, your'e still a good, NO fantastic Mama. Lastly, Laura urges expectant mamas to prepare for the unexpected. Listen to her story and learn what you can. Knowing your options and having the knowledge could be an invaluable piece of your own journey.

 

This was a hard story for Laura to tell, but incredibly important. Listen in to the next few episodes as we tackle the topic of breastfeeding stories and expert guidance. I'd love YOUR story. Click HERE to play your part in this Mama led mission.

 

All the love,

Sarah
