RE: Breast is Best, But Here's Why We Shouldn't Judge ~ Doing What's Best For Baby
Beautiful post @holisticmom. It's great you were able to experience it. My daughter would not open her mouth. Even with the specialist at the hospital helping me, we couldn't get her to open her mouth. After 4 days I was talked into giving up :(
With my son, my postpartum depression was so severe I was put on medication immediately. Null and void any possible attempt to breastfeed :( Which made matters much worse because then that was twice I had failed and not even given the chance the 2nd time.
Thank you @tryskele. It wasn't easy and I really do believe that had I not felt so strongly about sticking to breastfeeding and hadn't been through the PND with my daughter I probably would have given up too.
I'm sorry you never got the chance to experience it but know that you didn't fail. You did the best you could in the situation you found yourself. Big love to you xxx
Thanks :) I know I have 2 wonderful kids (adults now ugh) I have a great relationship with both, they've become what I have hoped for them. Hoping a little more for my son LOL. As for the people they have become, I couldn't be more proud. That's what it's all about. So I missed out on that part, I now tease my daughter about it a bit. She can be a bit of a loud mouth, I just sit back and laugh. "What's so funny?" "No wonder you wouldn't open your mouth to feed when you were born, you were waiting until you got older so the whole world could hear you." I still have great memories.
