It has been wonderful, joyful, and educating! My nursing experience had been a breeze, just so easy and natural for us. From the moment I had him, and got him to latch it was a breeze, he immediately knew what to do and I naturally let him lead and adjusted to how I can support him during his feeding times. Lots of time we as mothers think it’s important to lead our children, don’t get me wrong it is. However its also very important for us to let them lead. Especially in something as natural as breastfeeding, and I know my experience is different from all my mommas out there and I can only speak for myself. I genuinely feel like if I had attempted to take the lead with something like nursing I would have struggled or been in pain. I had to adjust to my baby and follow his que. If he turned his head towards my breast, smelled milk and open his mouth wide, it was my job to hurry and put my boob in there so he can immediately latch! My experience could have also been a breeze because breastfeeding is something I wanted to do, and enjoy! A lot of times I hear other mommas stories about how difficult it was, and draining, the toll that it may have took on that particular momma; and I’m sometimes baffled because my experience was and still is so easy going. The only thing I worry about now is biting lol. My little bugger has a few teeth and those little babies are sharp! He just turned 1 so happy birthday so my squirt! And our nursing journey is still going strong! I was determined to nurse him, and I’m just surprised that we’re still going. I absolutely love it, my journey has been nothing but great.

Calling all my mommas to chime in, What is/was your nursing journey experience like?
