31 // It Was HARD, but It Was WORTH It - My Crazy, Yet Beautiful Breastfeeding Journey
When I found out Miles had been starving at 2 weeks, our incredibly hard breastfeeding journey began. We fought for the first 6 months of his life, rebuilding my milk supply, supplementing with donor milk, navigating nipple shields, breast pumps, supplemental nursing systems, weaning off the bottle back to the breast, and then correcting latch and breaking him from clamping down when nursing.
It has been the hardest piece of my motherhood journey, but also the most rewarding. There were many weeks where I had to just tell myself to make it through that present day and if I still wanted to quit in the next I could. Each day I found renewed energy, strength, and dedication.
My story is a testament to the value of support. No way would I have made it without my husband, my sister, lactation support, and my friends. Thankfully most breastfeeding stories don't look like mine. However, if you find yourself struggling and you want to fight for this, I hope my story reminds you that it will get better and it will be beautiful. I'll be over here rooting you on Mama!
