I went through this too. People who are most unsupportive are the midwives and lactation consultants. These people are supposed to support women. Instead they shame and cause guilt. Thankfully we hired professional neonatal nurses who listened and helped. newshub.co.nz/home/lifestyle…

Coco Galle Fed is best!

Dr Mary-Ann Fox❄️ Coco Galle Absolutely this. Women admitted for their third breast abscess in as many weeks would burst into tears of relief when I suggested weaning. It shouldn't be like this. Everyone should be supported to find what works best for them.

Dr Mary-Ann Fox❄️ Coco Galle If anyone reads this as 'anti' breastfeeding, automatically making me somehow evil/anti-nature... this exact guilt-tripping is part of the problem. I actually think *more* women would successfully feed if we stopped shaming. No-one lactates well under such pressure.

Rhea Liang Dr Mary-Ann Fox❄️ Coco Galle I feel the same 'tone' when people say caesarian section births are somehow a 'failure' on the mother's part... No dummy, your fat head was too big for her pelvis. Just be grateful you're alive!!
