In honor of #NationalBreastfeedingWeek 🐮🍼 • This topic stirs up a lot of emotions and I have so much to say regarding the subject. I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my babies, it wasn’t a question. So, when I got pregnant with Jasper I didn’t even think twice. I went into it with an open mind but it wasn’t easy. Hindsight I wish I had just a little bit more knowledge going in, but isn’t that how it is with most things in life? I wish I could say J latched on the second he was placed in my arms. Instead, he was taken from my arms and I was rushed into surgery. He didn’t get to nurse until about 2-3 hours after he was born. At the time it didn’t really occur to me, I was happy we all survived tbh. Looking back, I realize how crucial that first latch or bonding experience is (whether breastfed or bottle fed!!!). And for that I carry a lot of guilt. I remember when I did get that chance to nurse him it felt right— like I had done it before in another lifetime— yet so foreign. We were both learning. Fast forward to our first night home when Jasper screamed bloody murder for an hour straight. He didn’t want anything to do with my boob yet was starving. My milk hadn’t come in yet and he pretty much sucked every last drop of colostrum out of me. Panicked and confused I called L&D crying asking what to do. I chuckle now. Here we are now, 6 months into this wild journey. It’s been quite the ride and some days I want to throw in the towel and call it quits, because breastfeeding IS really like a full time job. But, each day I am also reminded just how special this bond is + that I am giving my baby life. Breastfeeding isn’t for everyone and that is okay. No matter what you choose to do as a mama we all need to feel supported either way. The important thing is your baby is fed and both mama & baby are happy. I hope to continue on this journey as long as Jasper allows me + wants to. I can’t think of the day when he’s done nursing, so, today I will cherish every nursing session we have 💛 Here’s to all the mamas feeding their babies! #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ
