My little one turned one today! One year of breastfeeding, one year of seeing them fall asleep at the breast or look for it in the middle of the night. One year of being able to provide emotional support , comfort, safety, connection in this way. One year of seeing them grow in my arms, moment by moment. I feel sooo priviledged and honoured to have been able to persevere through nipple shields and misinformation from the hospital, and large breasts with flat nipples and tripple feeding and supplementing for a bit and weight gain issues and so much crying! I am also so grateful to my child’s perseverance with this first time mama. This program and its people trully saved my breastfeeding journey! I am forever grateful to all the vulnerable mamas, admin staff and in particular to Dawn and Dr Thompson’s kindness and reassurance. You educated me, helped me feel empowered and helped me trust my body and my mama’s instict. Thank you for this gift that will stay with my child through their lifetime. Pilar and baby E.
