BREASTFEEDING : 10 Things I've Experienced
Breastfeeding is a decision. As the saying goes : "breastfeeding is 99% determination and 1% milk production " (ctto) . Let me share to you some of my experiences.
√ Tandem Nursing
Since my 2nd born is only 1 year & 9 months, the time my youngest was born, i continued breastfeeding her even i am pregnant, and now still breastfedding them both.
√ Pains,enlargement,sores
It's not always a perfect experience, when i was just starting especially when you just gave birth , you'll experince
breast engorgement because it's full, and it's very painful, same with having sore on the nipples , but i've overcomed all of it
√No problem with weigt gain
Since breastfeeding burns 500 calories a day, and i am nursing 2 babies , for now i have no chance to gain so much weight
√ I eat like a monster
Even i am a very small girl, stands 4'11 and currently weighs 48kls. since i started nursing, i always eat a lot, i tend to feel hungry every second every minute 😂
√ It relaxes me
Whenever i breastfeed , my body releases the hormone called 'oxytocin, and that relaxes nursing moms , sometimes it's making me sleepy as well .
√ No Monthly Visitor
Since i breastfed, i've only experienced having menstrual period once after that none at all. so, no expense for menstrual pads, no irritations 😂
√No need for bottle cleaning and sterilizing
My breast is always available for my kids, so just one shirt up and feed, easy ❤️
√ Breastfeeding in Public
Since i love my kids and i don't care what would other say, i've experienced nursing in public buses, tricycles, ship, malls, everywhere, as long as my kids will be ok.
√ Problem with what clothes to wear
Since i started breastfeeding i rarely use fitted dress ( which was what i usually wear before) a lot of times , i want to wear comfortable shirts.
√The bond of love
It's the best thing i am experiencing during this breastfeesing journey, whenever i feed them with breastmilk, i can feel our connection, we're becoming closer and we can feel the love for each other .
Today, i am still loving this breastfeeding journey i have. I will be forever grateful that i am blessed with this free food that will nurture my kids and will make them feel that i will love them no matter what
How about you moms and moms to be? or anyone, wanna share your experiences? thoughts? comments? Feel free!
