From oral ties and oversupply to sensory overload, guilt and breastfeeding aversion during pregnancy, this is an honest reflection on the emotional side of our feeding journey.

Breastfeeding was one of the most emotionally challenging parts of early motherhood for me. Between oral ties, oversupply, sensory overload, pumping, breastfeeding aversion during pregnancy and the constant pressure I put on myself, I quickly realised breastfeeding was about so much more than simply feeding my baby. This is an honest reflection on the emotional side of breastfeeding that I never expected.

Our breastfeeding journey was nothing like I imagined. From oversupply, oral ties and endless feeding sessions to breastfeeding aversion and ultimately weaning, this was one of the hardest and most emotional chapters of my motherhood journey

I thought breastfeeding would mostly come down to whether my baby latched properly and whether I had enough milk. Instead, it became one of the hardest and most emotional experiences of my life. This is the honest story of our breastfeeding journey, from oral ties and oversupply to breastfeeding aversion, weaning and everything in between.
