Hey mamas!
Ever wondered what's in your breastmilk. Breastmilk is liquid gold. Everything your baby needs is in it. There's no doubt that breast is best.
However, I just want to encourage mothers out there to not beat yourself up about your milk supply. Whatever amount you pump out or baby drinks will benefit your baby. In the first month, when my milk supply was not consistent, the more I worried about it, the more my supply would dip. I wasn't enjoying breastfeeding my baby and at the back of my mind especially when pumping, it was all about the ounces I can pump today.
But a change in perspective that regardless of how much I pump or directly breastfeed her would benefit her (even a drop!) helped me to persevere and not give up on continuing this breastfeeding journey.
I learned to enjoy breastfeeding my baby as the pressure to store up a milk stash was lifted. What I thought would last a month became five and counting. 🤗
Here's to encouraging mothers everywhere to not give up. 💕
