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.

Welcome to Part 2 of my chat with Lactation Consultant, Alicia Duncan where we discuss realistic expectations of the breastfeeding journey for first time moms or those reborn. As we laid out in Part 1, breastfeeding is often so much harder than we anticipate it to be. While it doesn't have to be AS HARD as if often is, the reality is that it WILL be tough at least for a period of time.
It's important to remember that not only did you give birth to a baby, but also a mother. Everything is new for ALL of you and as you learn your baby, your baby learns you. With some preparation, the right support, patience, grace, and trust… breastfeeding can be a beautiful part of your journey.
We hope you enjoyed the content in these episodes. We also hope you are looking forward to more. If so, GOOD NEWS! We will be ending this breastfeeding series with another episode on PREPARING YOU for breastfeeding. The goal will be to send you off on your own journey with an understanding of what is normal, so you may fully trust that mother's instinct should you need additional help along the way. Stay tuned. :)
