​What are your breastfeeding goals?

To continue until she self weans.

If you've breastfed before, what's different about this experience?
Less pressure, letting baby lead.

What's your fondest memory of breastfeeding?
When they reach up to my face and lock eyes.

Who has been your biggest supporter on your breastfeeding journey?
Husband.

What advice would you give to new breastfeeding families?
Grace upon grace! Breastfeeding is actually hard and doesn’t come so “naturally”, it’s learned!
Baby is learning while you are learning. Keep pushing and you both will get into a groove. The
reward is worth the work!

Is there anything else you'd like to share with breastfeeding families?
Be proud of every single day you were able to complete, no matter how long! It’s amazing that
our bodies can create, grow, and nurture a whole human! We actually get to be collaborators
with God to create life! Honor your self and body for that!

This series is sponsored by DommiesBlessed. In celebration of National Breastfeeding
Awareness Month
, we are collecting stories from mothers, fathers, grandparents, and other
members of the breastfeeding unit. If you or someone you know would like to contribute, click
