Hey Mama and Mamas to be! I SEE you, whether you're struggling to have that precious babe that you know has been destined for you, or you are holding that miracle in your arms. I have been in both places with you. I know the fear, the mayhem, the isolation, the overwhelm, but hear me now. On the other side of this, are INSPIRATIONAL moments, even MIRACLES that you are about to experience. It takes a mindset shift, a new perspective, it takes walking through motherhood with the faith, and belief that you ARE enough JUST as you are, with what you have, to really step into this brand new life that is waiting for you. Through STORIES from mamas just like you, EXPERT guidance, SELF-CARE tips, MINDSET hacks, pep talks, taking the time to GROW, and operate from a full cup, you will begin to make the transformation from messy to truly inspired. So, dry off the breast-pad, wipe off the barf, its Mama time.

Have you ever seen a mother latch her baby at the breast? What are/were your expectations of your breastfeeding journey and did it match the reality? Today we are talking with IBCLC Lactation Consultant, Alicia Duncan on WHY breastfeeding is so much harder than we expect it to be and how we might change the narrative around this beautiful, yet skewed part of motherhood.
From efforts at first latch, lack of breastfeeding support, nursing in public, opinions on attachment parenting, sexualization of breasts, methods of breastfeeding, to the simple lack of exposure or knowledge, mamas are experiencing this journey in a society that isn't as breastfeeding supportive as it is opinionated.
We want this message to be clear, breastfeeding is not easy and so many things can make it near impossible amongst your postpartum journey. Breastfeeding for many of us is the start of finding our way in motherhood and establishing what is important for mama, baby and family. No matter the length of baby's time at the breast, be proud of your efforts and the strength it took to do what was right for YOU.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of this episode, where we help set the record straight on realistic expectations of breastfeeding and how you might prepare. PLEASE SHARE with any expectant mamas so they may make the best of their own journey.
All the love,
Sarah
