More Than Milk Project. Here We Go!

Nora, 8 months old. more-than-milk-breastfeeding--1406A-Edit“The first weeks of breastfeeding were challenging and painful. I tried to do everything “right” – keeping track of when Nora nursed and for how long and working diligently on her latch. At her two week doctor’s appointment, I found out that she she was still losing weight and was absolutely heartbroken. I immediately sought help from lactation consultants at the hospital where she was born and even saw a pediatrician who specialized in helping breastfeeding moms. We had to supplement with formula for a bit, but I worked so unbelievably hard to increase my supply.  Ultimately, I learned that the best thing I could do was trust Nora – she knew exactly what she was doing and would let me know when she needed and wanted to nurse. I’m still on medication to help maintain my supply and will continue to take it until she turns one (as it it costly), but I wouldn’t change our breastfeeding relationship for the world. Nursing has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and has allowed me to have the most amazing bond with my little girl.”

More than Milk. A model call.

I am a huge supporter of breastfeeding. For me, it was one of the best parts of mothering my young children. I knew, even pregnant and 16, that I would breastfed my children. It’s not just about milk; it’s about that little face looking up at you with big, trusting eyes and the bond you create during those sweet moments together.  

I have decided to do a photo project celebrating the beauty and bond of breastfeeding. As a mom who loved these moments with my children I want to help share the beauty of the bonds in hopes of inspiring other mothers to choose to nurse their babies. I nursed my four children and I treasure those memories.

Together we can help more mothers overcome the challenges and enjoy the wonderful experience we’ve been blessed with. <3

I am lucky to have this one photo of myself with my youngest daughter from 2006. My husband took this for me when I realized, with alarm, that I didn’t have a single photo of any of my babies like this. I treasure this photo and the memories it evokes.  more than milk project
