One moment I am CURRENTLY struggling with feeding was going from an over supplier to an undersupplier. I was used to have very full bottles, from one if not both sides. And this time around I decided NOT to build a freezer stash just because I didn’t want to do all of the extra work this time around (3rd baby). WELL, I became pregnant 6 months postpartum and my supply dipped hard and I have no freezer stash and I am an undersupplier now and it’s definitely a hard pill to swallow because I KNOW my body can make more and I KNOW WHY it’s not making more and it’s just so frustrating! What helped me though is knowing my body is actively nourishing 2 babies: my 9 month old and my 13 week old baby growing inside. My body is still amazing, it’s just doing things differently. I had to remind myself to give myself grace. No one is a worst critic than yourself. You got this mama!

Your reminder to give ourselves grace is something so many moms need to hear. Your body is doing something incredible by nourishing both your baby and your growing little one
