I see we are at an impasse.
Ever had one of those weeks where you managed to feed your toddler cereal three meals a day and rewash the same load of laundry six times?
Nope. Me neither.
Meanwhile, you're scrolling Instagram and there's a gorgeous image of a mother, serenely nursing her child, while dancing in a meadow and petting a baby fawn.
Lies, my sweet friend.
And because it's Monday and the laundry won't be done its seventh round for at least twenty minutes, let's kick the door in on a few more deceptions we've been sold.
I've got your back. Here's my article "Breastfeeding is Easy" & Other Lies Moms Believe on Babble.
Now go throw that load of laundry directly into the garbage. A whole bucket of vinegar isn't going to redeem that. ReMOVE it Monday covered for this week.

Now that I'm at the 6 month stage, it's looking up... oh wait. TEETH.
DeleteLoved your article! Breastfeeding is definitely not easy, and I feel like the feeling of 'I want my body back' gets worse in time! My 9 month old is currently teething, and ALWAYS wants to nurse. It really is exhausting...
ReplyDeleteOh totally! You are awesome, mama! We're just entering the 6 month teething. The joy of momming it. Every time you figure it out, they change. Hee hee!
