It's not always rainbows and good vibes and we should be allowed to feel down too. Hugs to mommas who can relate to this.

I was researching earlier about the proper latch because it's a very important piece of information to have for first time breastfeeding moms who might be reading our feed.

There's a lot of Youtube videos about it - I hope new mommas are taking time to study those!

What I wanted to share instead is this gem below written by Milkology's Stacey Stewart, who is a Certified Lactation Educator:

Planning to breastfeed but don't know where to start?

Breastfeeding was far from my mind when I was pregnant in 2012. I tried but not hard enough, and so I quit after a month of “trying.”
Fast forward to 2018, I was pregnant again (with twins!) and this time, I 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 to breastfeed.

Here's what I did to prepare myself.

*𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩
I read blogs, watched YouTube, attended seminars, and talked to friends who have successfully breastfed.
I wanted all my questions answered.

*𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱
I told my bfeeding friends and they shared tips and encouraged me. I was blessed to have a great support group who visited me, lent me their breast pump, and even helped me get breastmilk donations.
Having someone to talk to, especially at the start, really helps.

*𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴
On my list were: Breast pads, nursing bras, clothes to breastfeed in (have not yet discovered 𝙈𝙪𝙢 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨 then), nursing covers, galactagogues. I loved lactation treats, they cheered me up and motivated me, aside from increasing my milk supply.

*𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦
I set-up a nursing corner at home, just a comfy couch + side table. I always had water, my phone, power bank and earphones beside me.

*𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺
This was very 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵.
With my first baby 10 years ago, I wasn't prepared at all. Back then, I had so many excuses because bottom line: I did not want to do it.
This time with the twins, I was determined. I knew it was going to be worth it, especially since I was expecting premature twins.
Preparing mentally also means taking care of ourselves. I didn’t want to feel stressed and pressured.

*𝘛𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳
I told my OB and she was supportive of course and advised I could drink malunggay capsule by 32 weeks.
Hospitals are now breastfeeding advocates but it wont hurt to clearly state that you only want breastmilk for your baby.
The twins and I were very lucky to be in a very breastfeeding-friendly environment.
