Empowering women through honesty about breastfeeding
I didn't realise it was World Breastfeeding Week this week and then a friend shared an article on Facebook that really resonated with me, it can be found here: Don’t infantilise pregnant women. Tell them how tough breastfeeding can be Lizzy Davies I wrote much of this blog as a post on my Facebook page and I wanted to share it with you all, and my friends have agreed for some of their subsequent comments to be included. I didn't ever think I would become someone determined to speak up about breastfeeding on such a regular basis but I was genuinely shocked by how different it was to how I thought it was going to be and I want my friends to feel they can ask questions and feel 'ready' if it is something they want to do, I don't want them to feel as blindsided as I did at the time! In my opinion the Guardian article is brilliant. I loved breastfeeding Rosie and I would definitely recommend it, on the flip side it is the hardest thing I have ever done!
