"There was once Raka—
my first son (30 March 2023 – 3 April 2023),
born with anencephaly 🕊️🤍
i never had the chance to breastfeed him.
he was on NGT since the beginning,
but i still pushed myself to produce milk,
just to give him what i could, in the only way i knew.
even after he left,
my body didn’t stop.
the milk was still there,
and i had to force it to end.
it wasn’t easy,
it was full of blood, tears, and a kind of loss i can’t quite put into words, but i’m proud i chose to go through it.
and now, there is Raline.
this time, i get to experience breastfeeding,
for real 🥹
it’s new, overwhelming,
full of challenges, tears, and moments that almost broke me.
but somehow, it also feels like i’ve been here before.
like my body remembers.
like a part of this journey started long ago.
so i made that breastmilk DNA ring,
to remind myself how far i’ve come,
through love, loss, and trying
again 🥹🤍"
