Breastfeeding in NOT easy.
Let me say this not to discourage you but to give you the truth –
plainly. Some people have it easy and
some people don’t, and I belong to the later.
You see, I was clueless on breastfeeding. I only knew from what I saw with my sister in
law. I remember it clearly, as it was
just yesterday – we were in Subic for the long weekend, and she was
breastfeeding Shobe at that time. I
remember her going up to me and telling me that she was experiencing clogged
ducts (then, I understood it as may matigas sa boob) she was telling me how
painful it was that she didn’t know what to do already. I can remember seeing her face in agony. I thought to myself – what kind of pain was
she experiencing? Now that I am
breastfeeding my Kailee – I understood what she meant, what she felt, what she
was going through. At that time – I
could only offer her moral support – now, I understood that it needed more than
that.
So for this month’s Milk Mama Diaries – here are a few (I’m
sure they will be lengthy) advice and tips that I can give you.
