You're like feeding a child and you're supposed to know exactly what to do and you don't know exactly what to do.
And things don't always work out the way, you know, we're supposed to.
the pressure to feel like a natural mother is a lot.
I still could cry thinking about just not being able to be
You want to be everything for your kid because you grow them and you birth them and they're yours and you watch, you know, reels of like people just nursing their baby in public and it being so โ
natural and like it just wasn't like that for me and i every time you like we would like weigh this was with towns mostly but like she wasn't gaining weight and i'm trying to like nurse her literally around the clock and that's my fourth kid like just supplement what are you doing like you know and you're just like i was so stubborn about it i just wanted i wanted it to work out and it didn't and like then you're two weeks out of like not nursing and you're like
Yes, this is the best freedom ever.
But in that moment, you're like, how will I ever cope with this?
How will I, why can't I be good at this?
And, you know, Luca, I nursed him the most.
It was easier then.
And like down the line, I just, each child got less and less and less.
And now I'm like, who cares?
But in the moment, it's like, you're so consumed.
And I think by design, right?
Like we're designed to take care of our child by feeding them from your body.
But like guys have to do one thing one time.
That's what my husband says.
He's like, I did one thing one time and like you have to do all of these things.
