The sad story with a happy ending about my breastfeeding

Hi, my name is Carla. I’d like to tell you a little about breastfeeding and how amazing Momcozy has been throughout this whole process. My baby was born on September 30, 2025, and breastfeeding was quite a challenge for me. My baby wouldn’t latch on, and the pressure from the nurses, my family, and friends was incredibly frustrating, with everyone insisting that I absolutely had to latch on. I went to breastfeeding classes, but nothing worked. My stress was through the roof because I also had a C-section, and my incision was still very open. My family is in Venezuela, so it was just my husband and me. I decided to pump and express milk for my baby. I used other pumps, but I didn’t like them completely; I couldn’t have my hands free, which prevented me from doing other things. Then I bought my M9, and I’ve been expressing milk for seven months now, and it has truly changed my life! I can cook, eat, read, go for walks, and so much more with them. They’ve truly become my best friends. I love my juicer :heart_hands:t2: This is a message that if we can’t do something, we find a solution :victory_hand:t2: Thanks for reading!

Everyone can be so judgemental about breastfeeding and the right way to do it and I’m sorry you had to go through that because it makes it so much more stressful. I went through that with my first and it really hurt the way I was treated by it. Moms shouldn’t have to feel all that pressure when they are already going through so Many changes and trying to navigate a new baby and a sore body! I’m so glad that you found what worked for you and were able to continue your breast feeding journey! You’re doing a great job momma!

See o don’t understand why people are so quick to tell you the right way to breastfeed! Pumping is breastfeeding end of story. I love my hands free pump too they are like family at this point haha

I’m so glad you decided to go with pumping when your baby wouldn’t latch on! It’s so funny how you called it juicing! :joy: I’m sorry to hear your family is so far away
