Today, Baby C is 7 months, 6 days old and I am happy to have reached this far on my breastfeeding journey. Others may belittle the sacrifices and efforts of a breastfeeding mom, but breastfeeding is not a simple process. In fact, many mothers are not successful in it. Looking back during Baby C's first few days of life, during those sleepless nights, during those hours of crying (I was the one crying not the baby), during those days when my nipples were full of blisters and cracks, when baby seems to have unsatiable hunger and I have to feed her every hour, it seems to me like breastfeeding is even harder than the bar exam!
But those were the drama days! I survived it and here I am, still breastfeeding Baby C and feeding some donee babies as well with my expressed milk.
