A Final Note

Breastfeeding Support

I truly believe that breastfeeding support is extremely important.  I wouldn’t have made it past the first few weeks with Cole, had it not been for the wonderful encouragement I received from my husband.  Having someone stand by your side, no matter what, was wonderful. I am also very grateful to have found a wonderful Lactation Consultant when I needed one with Cole. She truly worked a miracle for us.  I only wish I was still living close to her now.  I haven’t been able to find a good Lactation Consultant here, and I know I really could have used one with Conner.

Finding a friend who is breastfeeding is really wonderful.  You can find these friends anywhere. Online, next-door, or even talking to a family member who’s been there can help you get through some hard times.   You may not find someone who has been through exactly the same problems, but it helps to talk about it.   It really helped to hear that it was o.k. to want to give up, but that I didn’t need to. And, I’m really glad I didn’t. Because of my breastfeeding experience, I have decided to become a Lactation Consultant. I enjoy sharing my experience with others, and hope to encourage other mom's to continue breastfeeding. I also hope to help mom's with special needs children learn to and continue to breastfeed. Because of my children, I now know what I want to do with my life. I often wonder...If I didn't have such a hard time breastfeeding, or had I just given up and formula fed, how much would the kids and I really have missed out on? ***E-Mail me for Breastfeeding Information, or to find out about Wearing your baby (Maya Wraps)***
