Motherhood expands my life by… revealing a depth of love I didn’t know before. It has taught me that true love is **completely selfless and giving**. I’ve learned that love isn’t just a feeling; it’s an action. Before I was pregnant, I always told my husband that I will not breastfeeding, I want myself fully rested postpartum. But now I’m still pumping, no matter how busy my job is or I was sick. Also motherhood expanded my perspective: I used to chase personal achievements, but now, other than chase achievements, I also hope I can **raise a kind, healthy, and happy human.💗** I remember looking at my baby one night, long after they had fallen asleep, and suddenly realizing that I would do absolutely anything for them. **It was just pure, unconditional, selfless love.** Motherhood has expanded my life by teaching me that **the greatest joy comes not from what you receive, but from what you give. 💗** ![IMG_0360](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/momcozy/original/2X/1/1a82c829aaf566f7dd05b2f6ccab9a4a08526c16.jpeg) ---

Now my family wants me to stop breastfeeding because they said I’m already really busy on work. They want me to have enough rest. I refused to stop 😂 I said even if breast milk just has 1% benefit compared to formula, I’ll still continue for her ❤ ---
