We want your story!

Posted by: nuvomaternity on: January 28, 2008

One of things that most pregnant and new mums wonder about is breastfeeding. What will it be like? Will it hurt? Do I have enough milk? I think this is because there are not enough ‘real’ stories being passed on to new mums today. Often we tell the horror stories instead of sharing the good, the bad and the ugly.

We want your story! Help support new breastfeeding mums by sharing your breastfeeding experience. Often knowing that you aren’t alone can make a world of difference when you are seriously sleep deprived from 2 hourly feeds with a newborn.

So tell us what breastfeeding was like for you – we really want to know!

I recently posted a nice little rant about breastfeeding on my blog, http://www.elynkam.wordpress.com. This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but this just happens to be where I am in my breastfeeding journey. My goal is 12 months, and I am currently just past the 9-month mark. As a total experience, I have enjoyed sharing the bond with my child. However, it comes with several obstacles that must be overcome. Right now, for example, I cannot get my child to even attempt to drink out of anything but me! This is probably going to make for a terrible transition time in about 3 months.

Anyway, what a great idea. No one really tells you that breastfeeding is going to make you insane. They should!

Thank you for sharing your story Elynka! I think your story shows really well that breastfeeding is a rollercoaster ride of emotions with highs and lows. Well done on making the 9-month mark and good luck with your goal of 12 months! I’m sure your story will help other mums going through the same thing.
