With the little one being six months old, it means I've breastfed my babies for a combined period of eight long years. Yup, I don't think I ever imagined that to happen but I am truly thankful and glad that it did.
That's not to say this journey wasn't without hiccups and it did take lots of perseverance along the way. We've had our fair share of cracked nipples (which hurt nearly as much as contractions did and I had to tell myself if I could give birth, I could surely survive this pain), engorgement woes and latching issues, especially for baby Ansel who took me months to train him to latch properly before we got to where we are now. Phew.
August is National Breastfeeding Month and I'd like to look back and thank my lucky stars for being able to have come so far in breastfeeding every of my babies. It's something I deeply cherish and love doing each day because I feel that it helps us to build a special bond, and I have never and will never take this blessing for granted.
My goal is to make it for another two years, at least, or even longer if I can so that I will hit a decade by then and I would have done everything I could to make this precious journey last for as long as possible.
To all fellow breastfeeding mums, let's jia you together and treasure this journey while we can. Never give up! ❤
