Dark Days to Second Nature - Evelia and Emilia



When I was pregnant I assumed breastfeeding would be natural and stress-free but it was not the case for me. The first 3 months were some of the darkest days I experienced.  I had every complication from teeth clenching pain to bi-weekly bouts of mastitis.    We would have not made it past the first week if it was not for seeking advice from breastfeeding groups and lactation consultants.  Also, having an amazing and supportive husband made the days hopeful.  Overtime, breastfeeding began to feel second nature and we have gone beyond our one year goal. With persistence and determination our breastfeeding journey became to what I imagined- perfect.
