Michelle dealt with isolation living away from her family that she is very close to. She was incredibly sore in the beginning! Sadly, she felt she had post-partum depression, but like many of us, was too embarrassed to tell others that she was suffering. Fortunately she has made it through these challenging times and is still nursing her little one! For help with breastfeeding older babies, here is podcast discussing this issue.

For sore nipples listen to our podcast and take a look at what kellymom has to say! No matter what the internet says, nipple pain is not normal! If your pain is getting worse, not better, or if you have any visible damage, please consider a private consultation.

If you feel you may have postpartum depression, maybe take this quick assessment. We very much encourage you to reach out and get help. Tell your doctor or midwife if you feel like you are struggling with depression. Let your partner know as well. Tell people, don’t be embarrassed. Anyone can suffer from post-partum depression. Even Brook Shields! Maybe join a support group to help with loneliness? The power of support of groups!

Thanks for listening! If you want to share your breastfeeding story, please email barbara@bfcaa.com Mothers out there who are in the thick of it, breastfeeding those little one, need to hear your stories! Please share your story!

~Happy Breastfeeding
