EPISODE 32: MY JOURNEY WITH BREASTFEEDING

Unravelling+Season+2+Artwork(4).png

ONE OF THE BIGGEST LESSONS I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR IN MOTHERHOOD HAS BEEN THROUGH BREASTFEEDING AND SO I THOUGHT IT NOW THE RIGHT TIME TO SHARE MY JOURNEY WITH IT.

‘Breast is Best’ is a phrase that is used a lot when you talk about motherhood - however for me breast wasn’t best and I am sharing my journey with breastfeeding here. I am sharing this because I want to be honest about my experience and it is a very personal of course - no mother or baby is the same.

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARE...

  • My intentions and beliefs about breastfeeding before I had Sophia.

  • Why I believe the ‘breast is best’ approach was not right for me and my mental health.

  • My journey from leaving the hospital to coming home and making the decision to stop breastfeeding, and how that has impacted me emotionally an physically.

  • Why I had to surrender the idea of what ‘a perfect mother’ looks like in order to actually be the best mother I could be.

And much, much more!

The original blog that I refer to is here.
