😫😬🥴❤️🥰 From a mom who did not attend prenatal breastfeeding class, “I couldn’t believe that they asked me to do skin-to-skin right after giving birth! I was exhausted already. I had absolutely no idea what to do. And I never got enough sleep again. In spite of all of these, I discovered that breastfeeding is actually the happiest and most relaxing time for baby and me.”
🤱🏻🥰😭🥹😗 “My baby was a good eater and I absolutely loved breastfeeding until he was teething…it hurt! But he soon weaned himself after that. Now I miss breastfeeding.”
👍❤️🥰😍🥳 “I felt every positive emotion from the beginning to the end.”
😍🥰☺️😌😊 “I loved the skin-to-skin contact with my baby right after giving birth. I loved rooming with my baby. Breastfeeding at home worked well, thanks to the good start in the hospital. I so enjoyed the moments when she stuck on me. Now she’s almost two and would climb on me and ask for milk. It’s breastfeeding at its easiest.”
😘😘😘😘😘 “I love every second of breastfeeding.”
🈶🈶🈶🈶🈶 “I don’t have much milk, but amazingly, it’s always enough for my baby.”
🥱🥱🥱🌚🤝 “I’m tired, so tired, very tired…I never know whether it’s day or night. But still, it feels good, it feels like baby and I are a team.”
👍👍👍👍👍 “The best thing I ever did for my baby as a mom.”
🌭🍔🥓🍳🍞 “I’m hungry, super hungry…Five emojis are not enough! I want to eat!!”
Among all these responses, I noticed that none of the moms used a sunshine or rainbow emoji. Being a new parent is exciting, but it’s definitely not always sunshine and rainbows! How was your breastfeeding experience? Share with us using five emojis!
