I just want to post this here so I know where to find it when I’m struggling. The full
original post is here. This is my favorite part.
There is no one perfect way for every person, baby, and situation. Yes, breastmilk is a
perfect food and our babies are meant to have it. In an ideal world all mothers would
make enough milk, all babies would have the perfect latch, and rainbows would
appear when we figure it out.
Reality is not always ideal though. What I'm saying is, work hard to give your babies
the best nutrition you can, but give yourself grace when it’s hard. Mamas need to be
healthy not just physically, but also emotionally and mentally. Do what is best for
you, your baby, and your family. Do not care what others say or think. This goes for
breastfeeding how and where you please, or if you choose to pump, use donated milk,
or use formula.
What matters is you are healthy, your baby is healthy, and your baby is loved and fed.
You are doing your best. You are doing enough. Feed and love without fear.
