So many breastfeeding mom's starting their journey

So many breastfeeding mom's starting their journey may be self-sabotaging without even realizing it

Sometimes our expectations for what we "think" breastfeeding should look like are not always aligned with what we are experiencing.

And when those two things are not aligned, that's when the negative thoughts come, the doubt, the worry, the second-guessing.

It's important have the knowledge beforehand to help you understand what's normal and when to seek support.

If you are pregnant and planning to breastfeed I've been working on something that will be coming soon. ⤵️

I'm Nasheeda an IBCLC, mom of 3 breastfeed babies, working overnight at a hospital helping moms with breastfeeding and I see it happen over and over again thats why I cannot wait to share this with you.❤️❤️❤️

Follow me so you don’t miss it!

During your pregnancy there is so much to prepare

During your pregnancy there is so much to prepare for

➡️the frequent appointments

➡️planning a baby shower

➡️deciding on your baby name

➡️not to mention the hormonal and emotional changes.

All of it can be overwhelming.

I get it! I’ve been there.

But I also see breastfeeding moms who have waited for their baby to get here

and want a crash course about using their breast pump,

measuring nipples,

making sure the baby is getting enough

All during their first visit with a lactation consultant

hours after giving birth and share it all in 30 minutes while trying to help with latching. 🤯

The idea behind waiting until your baby gets here is because moms are silently thinking...

“How can I prepare for breastfeeding when I don’t have my baby to practice breastfeeding with.”

But what if I told you that it's not all about practicing the latch and positioning.

But more about what to expect before it actually happens so that it’s not the first time you are hearing about it

5 hours into your postpartum journey and you can't figure out how to get your baby to latch.

Let me know in the comments if you have ever said or thought…

I'll just wait til my baby gets here to focus on breastfeeding”

Putting so much pressure on yourself every single

Putting so much pressure on yourself every single time you try to latch your baby.

Every feeding feels HIGH STAKES. And if it doesn't go perfectly, you feel like you failed.

But here's the truth: breastfeeding is not something that happens perfectly on day one.

You and your baby are both learning. That is not a flaw. That is just how learning works.

Your body knows what it's doing. You just need time to find your rhythm together.

Preparation over panic.

Practice over perfection.

One feeding at a time.

If you have ever felt this way you are not alone...

Send this to someone who needs a virtual hug 💜

Protecting your mental health is not failure. Cho

Protecting your mental health is not failure.

Choosing formula in a hard moment — with love — is not failure.

But here is the truth.

Supplementing strategically — with the right support and a real plan — can actually protect your breastfeeding journey instead of ending it.

Your supply is built on frequency and removal. One bottle does not erase that.

Fear, exhaustion, and no support.

Those are what quietly end journeys.

What matters is that you have the right information to make the decision that is best for you and your baby.

You deserve support that meets you where you are — without judgment, without pressure, one feeding at a time.

Here is the truth a lot of people won't say out lo

Here is the truth a lot of people won't say out loud:

A difficult birth does not disqualify you from a beautiful breastfeeding journey.

It may mean you need

A little more grace.

A little more time.

A little more support.

But it does not mean the door is closed.

Imagine this: you are a few days postpartum. Things did not go the way you planned.

But you are nursing your baby — not because everything was perfect —

because you had the right information and someone in your corner who reminded you what your body was made to do.

That is what preparation gives you.

Not a guarantee. A fighting chance.

If you are healing from a hard birth and still holding onto your breastfeeding goals — drop a 🤍 below.

I see you, and I want you to know you are not too far behind to begin.

That mom's freezer stash. That effortless latch.

That mom's freezer stash.

That effortless latch.

That woman pumping 8 ounces in 10 minutes.

You don't have her body. You don't have her story.

You don't know the story behind the post.

You only have yours.

And yours is enough.

Social media has a way of turning someone else's highlight reel into your measuring stick.

And when you're already anxious, already questioning yourself, already carrying so much—that comparison becomes one more thing working against you.

Your journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's to be successful.

It has to work for YOU and YOUR baby.

That's the only benchmark that matters.

Save this for the next time you catch yourself measuring.
