Mother breastfeeding her baby.
Breastfeeding as a first time parent makes you second guess yourself quite a bit — is the baby even getting milk? Is the baby latching properly? Is the baby comfortable in this position?
But parents often forget to think about themselves when in reality if the breastfeeding parent isn’t comfortable or in a good mental space, it’s difficult to feel positive while breastfeeding.
Before you begin your breastfeeding journey it’s important to understand the ways you can be kind to your body.
