Pushing through moments to breastfeed by Michaela Lawson
"Weaning was just a step, a part in life that signifies growing up. I would now even classify it in the same feelings as him growing out of a favorite outfit, or saying a new word. It pinches at your heartstrings. But it reassures you that you’re doing right as a mother, you are your child are growing up, together. And things are progressing forward exactly as they should be."

Briana's Story
When I first found out I was pregnant, I had no opinions on breastfeeding. I had never thought about how I would feed my child. I started reading pregnancy books and blogs and decided I would try to breastfeed after learning how beneficial it was for both baby and mother. I never expected to love it as much as I do! L and I have been EXTREMELY lucky in our journey so far. We have not had any production or latch issues, no tongue or lip ties, no mastitis or cracked nipples. I know we have been extremely fortunate in that respect!.....
