Breastfeeding Essentials!

Before I had my first child, I thought for sure that I’d breastfeed him for at least one full year and that it would be easy- just pop the kid on there and eat away, right?! ……. WRONG. Breastfeeding was HARD. So hard, that I gave up. I ended up with mastitis and thrush at the same time and on antibiotics and exhausted and sore and in total pain. It wasn’t good for me. Fast forward to my 2nd child and I educated myself a little bit more and learned a thing or two about breastfeeding and nursed her for her first year of life. I call that a huge success!

In this video, I talk about some essential things that helped me get through breastfeeding. I hope this helps someone out there. Breastfeeding can be wonderful, but it can also be terribly hard.
