Hey Mama, Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself About Breastfeeding

Dear Mama, If you’re pregnant and feeling the pressure to breastfeed perfectly — take a deep breath. You’re not alone. Yes, breastfeeding can be beautiful, but it’s also hard. It can come with pain, tears, and frustration. And sometimes, despite your best effort, it just doesn’t work out. That doesn’t make you a bad mom. It makes you human. You are not a failure. Not if you supplement. Not if you use formula. Not if you choose your mental health. Your baby needs love, nourishment, and a mama who feels supported — not perfect. So whether you breastfeed for a year, a week, or not at all, know this: You are enough. You are doing great. You are already a good mom. Give yourself grace. You’ve got this 💛
