Breastfeeding when you’re back in your own house 🏠 can feel very different from the hospital 🏥, where you may have been surrounded by helpers or had an uncomfortable sense of performance anxiety. If you had a stressful experience in the hospital because of unsupportive nurses or that feeling of being in a fishbowl, you can relax: you’re on your own turf now, and you and your baby can work this out even if you got off to a rough start. If you’re feeling a little anxious about going this alone without the guidance of trained medical staff, remember that women have been nursing babies since the beginning of time. 💪 You can do it mamma!

Suppressing your feelings and emotions is never good, it affects you emotionally, your health, and even affects your baby and those around you. You may find that meditation or long walks help you tune in to the feelings and thoughts you’re experiencing and help you move past them in a more healthy way. Feel free to feel sad, angry, or in a bad mood. This is all normal, and you can handle anything mom. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
