Breastfeeding may or may not work out and that’s totally okay
Some women have that magical first moment with their newborns, eyes meet, skin-to-skin, tears of joy, a well-fitted latch, not tongue-tide, hefty gulps from colostrum filled breasts.
Some women aren’t physically able to breastfeed.
Some women struggle with breastfeeding at first and choose to keep trying, with lots of ups and downs until it works out.
Some women struggle with breastfeeding at first and decide not to do it anymore.
Some women don’t struggle with breastfeeding and decide not to do it.
Some women exclusively pump and bottle feed.
Some women breast and bottle feed.
Some women choose not to breastfeed at all.
Whatever you do is specific to your situation. No one is you and every mother is different. Ultimately, fed is best and don’t let anyone (including yourself) convince you otherwise.
