When I was preparing to become a mom, I attended childbirth preparation lectures and read a lot on the internet, including information about breastfeeding.
By the time my little one was born, I thought I knew more about breastfeeding than some nursing mothers. Only later did I realize that a woman who has never breastfed cannot know more than a woman who has hands-on experience.
There were things related to breastfeeding that I only learned by actually going through the process. Nobody told me about them in the lectures, and they were not mentioned in articles, even though the information is quite important and useful, and, in my opinion, deserves the attention of every young mother.
I would like to share my experience with moms-to-be on how to prepare for breastfeeding, why it’s so hard, how to achieve a good latch (even with flat nipples), how to overcome breastfeeding challenges (for example, confidently nurse in public or clogged milk ducts), lactation-boosting drinks and foods that increase milk supply, foods to avoid while breastfeeding, best breast milk storage bags, etc.
Stay tuned!
