Congrats to all the mamas who even tried to breastfeed- it’s not always easy but it’s worth it!
My boys, Cooper and Carson, will be 6 months old on the 28th and I’ve breastfed them this entire time. TWO babies. For almost SIX months. And honestly, knowing that I’m part of the reason they’re getting so big makes me ridiculously happy. 🖤
Before I had babies, I always said I wasn’t going to breastfeed. No idea what I was trying to prove. I was being a brat. 😂 But the second I found out I was pregnant, my whole mindset changed.
Then I found out it was twins.
And somehow I still never thought, “How am I going to breastfeed TWO babies?” I was too busy panicking about how the hell I was going to HAVE two babies. 😂
They were born at 34 weeks and 2 days, and in the beginning I had to supplement with a tiny tube at my ni**le while my milk came in. At the time, I felt like I had failed. Looking back now, I wish I would’ve been a little nicer to myself.
Then came the latch.
These boys would literally CHEW THE AIR while I was trying to get them to open their mouths. 😂 It was adorable… but their latch was AWFUL.
And it hurt.
Like really, really hurt.
For MONTHS.
I wanted to quit a million and one times.
But somehow I kept going.
And now here we are, almost 6 months later, and breastfeeding them feels so normal. So easy compared to those first few months.
Well… until they hear a noise and whip their head around with my b**b still in their mouth. 😭😂
My goal is one year. After that I’d love to pump so they can keep having breastmilk, but we’ll see what happens.
What I do know is that I’m already so proud of myself.
I wanted to give up so many times and I didn’t.
I love these babies more than anything in this world, and knowing my body has been able to nourish BOTH of them for almost six months is something I’ll always be proud of.
And to every other breastfeeding mama reading this… seriously, you’re amazing.
And I’m not a corny cornball or a softy, so if I’m saying it, I mean it. 😂🖤
