Breastfeeding Story

Baby girl was born via scheduled c section at 39 weeks. She was a little smaller than expected and had tongue tie. I worked with lactation at the hospital. We tried a nipple shield, syringe and tubing at the breast, pumping and bottle feeding. Triple feeding for three months now. This isn’t what I imagined our breastfeeding experience to be but I’m grateful that she is still getting all of the breastmilk that I can provide. It’s been a test of strength and a rewarding experience.

Welcome, Lyndsay! Doing all of that for 3 months is truly amazing. Triple feeding takes so much grit, but every drop you’re giving her is worth celebrating. Indeed rewarding experience
