Feed is best
Is there a right way?
Everyone will have an opinion. Of course, they will! That’s what people do, have opinions. The most important opinion is yours mamas.
It doesn’t matter how you feed your baby, all that matters is that they are feed.
Especially with your first baby, the entire feeding journey can be overwhelming. Healthy mom equals healthy baby. If you choose to breastfeed but need some guidance, there’s help.
When breastfeeding goes well, it has extensive benefits for mother and baby. But for many women the learning curve is steep and everything may not go as planned, that’s when expert guidance can help.
Hiring a physician, trained in integrative methods to increase supply can be a gold mine for many. As a coach, I also work with moms on their thoughts about breastfeeding, mommy guilt, and self worth in relation to feeding their babies. Finally, as a mom of two boys I understand how different the journey can be for each child. It’s like a dating all over again, you never know what’s going to happen. Every mother and child are different and require individualized care and support. What may have worked once may not work again, and just because it was challenging the first time done’s mean it will go the same again.
If you choose to breastfeed but want help, then reach out. The way your baby is feed means nothing about you as a mother. There are many rewards and joy in breastfeeding if that’s the path you CHOOSE!
