Breastfeeding Week: A Sad Story with a Happy Ending

,

Someone shared a meme about nursing their baby, and I saw that it was in honor of breastfeeding week last week. Oops. Guess I’ll share my story anyway. When I was pregnant, I Did All the Research. I knew I wanted to breastfeed my baby because “breast is best,” as they say everywhere all the […]
