When we feel disappointment collide with our breastfeeding journey, we have to be acutely aware of how it affects us. Untempered disappointment can be like a tiny weed that grows into overwhelming feelings of failure; like a vine beyond control, convincing us that we did something wrong, that we are inadequate, and that we’re alone in our struggle.
Friend, if that seed has been planted in your heart, it’s time to dig it up.
