Breastfeeding

     When I found out I was pregnant I had NO clue about breastfeeding. I knew maybe two people who breastfed their children. I knew I wanted to breastfeed because of how healthy it is for the baby, but I didn't know who to ask questions. I thankfully signed up for classes at my local hospital and knew breastfeeding was the only option. I had Graig and breastfeeding went well... except he went through a massive growth spurt! I couldn't keep up so I was forced to breastfeed and bottle feed. I did this for about 4 months until my milk just stopped coming in (I think it was because of the mini pill). I never breastfed in public, only in my own privacy. Breastfeeding is such a bonding experience, I don't know how some women do it in public, I give them a lot of props because I tried it once and couldn't handle it. I also remember the reactions I'd get when I told people I'm breastfeeding... I've learned breastfeeding or bottle feeding people will judge. So all I have to say to moms out there who are expecting; Do whatever you choose. People judge no matter what and people always want to give their parenting advice but it's your child and you know/do what's best. And I promise it doesn't hurt as much as people will tell you! You get used to it after like two weeks. It's truly an amazing experience that's worth a try.
