breastfeeding diaries at The Girl in the Red Shoes

Men- be warned. This is a girly post. You probably don't want to read it or follow any links in it. Might as well exit the screen now.

Ok, ladies...

I'm over on Julie's blog, The Girl in the Red Shoes, today chatting about my breastfeeding journey. It was one heck of a time, and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to share my story and encourage women in their own!


If you're visiting from Girl in the Red Shoes, HELLO!!! Take a look around and I'd let me know you stopped by!

  1. What an incredible story about breastfeeding! I had no idea about what the HELLP Syndrome was I couldn't imagine how scary that diagnosis must of been. But it's good to know you've got breastfeeding down and things are much more mellow. I do have a question though I saw in your post that you were pumping twice a day.. was that before or after your son starting latching on without any complications?

    1. I did that once I started going to work. I pump around 10:00 and 1:00 because that's when he takes a bottle of bm from my mom at her house. Before I went back to work, after he was latching well, I'd just pump once a day after he ate in the morning to build up a freezer stash.

    1. Oh yea, definitely not alone. The first several weeks of motherhood are so difficult and isolating, it's hard to imagine the people who tell you how great it is ever went through that. But I bet they did. And just forgot. Haha I'm glad you found these encouraging stories. You're doing a great job!
