About 6 Months Ago..

I wanted to write a reflection on my breastfeeding journey, as well as my six months of motherhood. It’s been a point of major struggle, pride, exhaustion and happiness.  I want to write this for myself, but for other mothers of who may share some of my experiences.  Hopefully some […]
