This weeks topic is sweet support.
I would have to say I found the most support through a few of my friends. I never even thought breastfeeding was an option for me, so I didn't know much about it. I wasn't prepared in any way. So I leaned on my friends both IRL and online. I also started attending La Leche League meetings which not only taught me a lot, but gave me confidence to nurse in public and to stand up to anyone who might think I was doing something "wrong".
Breastfeeding for me was a challenge. I felt like I was the ONLY one that just "couldn't get it". I seriously thought.. "it's not for me". But, I've gone 5 weeks into breastfeeding my son and I love it. With my daughter, I didn't have great support. So, I didn't breastfeed. Plus, with hormones - ughh. But anyways, I support!
ReplyDeletethanks for linking up for this week's blog hop!
ReplyDeleteisn't LLL amazing?!? :)
I've never been to a LLL meeting. With the boys it was just to hectic and with Judah I haven't felt the need...maybe I should find one to go to! Thanks for linking up this week- I hope we see you again in the coming weeks. (I followed you back, you've got a cutie!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog - following you now. Glad you found support and decided to try nursing!
