I used to feel like such a failure on my breastfeeding journey because I’d see all these freezer stashes and wished I had one. I’ve been in so many situations where I couldn’t even leave the house alone because I didn’t have a stash so my only choice was to be by my baby’s side to feed on demand. And then last night something shifted in me as I sat there with my sick little and got both of us through the night by providing comfort and feeds as he needed. I felt this immense gratitude for everything my body is doing and has done to create and sustain life. The body knows best and it does what it needs to according to how it feels so the only thing I can do is to treat my body like my second child. I’d never compare my little to others and tell him to do better so why do I do that to my body? So this morning as I pumped a little less than 2 ounces, I took a deep breath and allowed myself to rest in the awareness that that is more than enough. From that rested awareness comes the strength to nourish myself to hopefully up my supply, if my body chooses to do so. Trust that you’re doing enough. Trust that your body has an intelligence far greater than the mind can understand so it is also doing enough.
