The Motherhood Feeding Journey

This time is filled with a roller-coaster of emotions and worries. Is the baby eating enough? How often should I be nursing? Why does this feel so awkward? But you also have this amazing, brand new baby depending on you.

And the depth of love you feel? Indescribable.

Pregnancy is only a glimpse at what sharing your body means. You can do pretty much whatever you want when you’re pregnant – go here, go there, have lunch, shower.

Life breastfeeding a newborn baby? That is a whole ‘nother level of sacrifice.

If you can breastfeed – great. If you can’t, or don’t want to, and you decide to use formula – great. As long as you’re taking care of your baby, you’re being a good mama.

Because it doesn’t always come “easy” to every mother or baby.

It feels like once you get the hang of the whole feeding thing – it changes, and then it’s over. And you might end up in a place you never thought you would –

Missing the days (and nights) of long, sleepy feeding sessions.
