It’s #WorldBreastfeedingWeek2022 with this years theme being educate & support and although I wasn’t sure about whether or not I should post something, I wanted to not only celebrate our nearly 8 month journey but I also wanted to share something I never thought would happen - or even exist! The biggest and most challenging thing we had to go through while breastfeeding was developing a breastfeeding aversion only 2 months in (I thought aversions were only limited to pregnancy & food related). For me, the skin crawling, the not wanting anything to touch the back of my neck, the constant feeling of needing to be sick was more than overwhelming and in month 2 the sessions were still around 45 mins every 2 hours so it was definitely a struggle. So many times I wanted to give up because not only was I trying to push past the feeling of my skin crawling all over, I was also mentally & recovering from such a traumatic birth but every time I wanted to give up I just kept telling myself, one more day. Just one more day and somehow this turned into 2 weeks - which is how long the aversion lasted. I’m not sure why it started, I’m not sure there is a reason but I’m glad I pushed through and if there was one thing I wish I had while going through it was support, or knowing that there was someone else going through the same thing because I definitely felt alone. Sorry for the long post but just know you’re all doing great mama’s and that you’re definitely not alone ❤️ *Also, little squish when she was only 4 weeks old! #ukmummybloggers #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeedingaversion #mummybloggersuk #newmama #8monthsold #breastfeeding
