August is National Breastfeeding Month and if you're in the thick of it right now like cluster feeding at 2am, googling "is this normal," wondering if your supply is enough... we see you.
Here's something worth knowing: breastfeeding isn't all-or-nothing and it's not a test you pass or fail. ACOG's guidance is clear that exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months, with continued breastfeeding alongside complementary foods through the first year or beyond. There's no gold star for going it alone and there's no shame in supplementing, either. Whatever you choose, our providers support your right to make that decision, free from pressure or judgment.
If you're struggling with latch, with supply, with just feeling like you're doing it "right" just know that's exactly what we're here for. Lactation support isn't a last resort. It's part of good care.
You're doing a good job. Even on the days it doesn't feel like it.
