Breastfeeding … Instagram vs. Reality

This came up on my memories today and it’s honestly one of my favorite photos from breastfeeding. Why? Because it’s real. Literally nursing Anthony while walking the streets of Switzerland shopping. I remember being so frustrated because I was tired of spending so many hours sitting and feeding. It was a full time job that I wasn’t prepared for. I feel lucky to have been able to do it for as long as I did. Looking back though, I wish I could go to this moment and reassure myself that I would miss it and to not be so hard on myself.
