💕 World Breastfeeding Week 💕
Some of my most treasured moments as a mother have been spent right here. My babies close, their little hands resting on me, our breaths slowing together.
Nearly 4 years on from when I first began, I’m still breastfeeding, 2 years and 5 months with my first (some of that alongside my second), and just over 2 years into feeding my youngest.
It hasn’t been easy. It’s been cracked ni***es, long nights, cluster feeds, and moments I wondered how I’d keep going.
It has also been joy, closeness, connection, and quiet moments only we share.
This journey has nothing to do with luck.
It’s been about having the right support. Support given freely by others, support I sought out, and the boundaries I put in place to protect us.
It’s been about blocking out the noise.
Trusting my body. Trusting my babies.
I love this journey ❤️
Not because it’s always been easy, but because it’s been ours.
To every mother feeding, however that looks for you, I see you.
