But it is fading away, and I know it will soon come to an end. I just wanted to say how fun it has been, especially these last couple years. I remember humming songs together as you nursed, and hearing you develop your range & ability to match pitch (mostly with Happy Birthday, that was your favorite for a long time.) Most lately you have been fascinated with the nursing baby gorilla at the zoo, and are imitating him when we do mimi at night. Since you nursed so long, you might later still remember mimi, perhaps a little, and I hope it is a good memory. For me, I hope I never forget your warm cuddles, and gazing into your eyes, seeing your nursing smile. Love, Mommy" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079700815-45I5KBVUJAPAF4ALZMLN/03.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - P & E "Before I had my daughter I had three miscarriages. I truly didn't think that I would end up being a mom. I felt broken. It was nearly impossible to feel relaxed and confident during my pregnancy . Fortunately we had a textbook birth and breastfeeding those early days were difficult and painful, but so worth it once we got the hang of it. It was extraordinary seeing my daughter thrive exclusively from my milk. It is wild how differently I look at my body now after our two year breastfeeding journey. The lack of trust I had in it years ago has been transformed... I now can't help but view my body as a powerful life source."   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496080065383-T4V13AK34P06TW1TVC15/04.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Caitlin & Eloise I think we do women a great disservice by acting like nursing should be simple, that it will come naturally and easily, that their bodies and their babies will just know what to do. Because so often it is anything but easy, and by not being up front about that, we set women up to feel disappointed in themselves if they struggle. Nursing is hard, not every time will be filled with joy and with staring deep into your babies eyes. But in a way that is what is so great about nursing, it’s such an allegory for parenting in general. Sometimes its messy, sometimes it’s hard, sometimes you cry, but in the end what matters isn’t whether you were perfect every single second. What matters is just that you love your kids and that you try to do your very best for them, whatever that may mean for you." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079701802-JF79MX7BM90H5ZOUO8N6/05.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Anna-Maria, Iggy & Niko https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079701890-GYBQBM50E1WHC4HTD6IZ/06.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Corey & Matteo "When people talk about breastfeeding, one thing they don't talk much about is the level of commitment it requires. Being a food source for another living person can be daunting and tiring. Once you get the physical hang of it, you still have to continue giving lots of time, energy, and thought to it. It is an incredibly worthwhile commitment but I want to highlight how much work it is too. I feel very lucky to have been able to breastfeed my son for over a year. I believe it has kept him healthy and strengthened our bond." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079702606-5D8S17C7NEU5WSDSQVNT/07.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Erin, Nate & Edie "Breastfeeding is my number one parenting tool. I have used it to nourish and comfort all three of my little ones. There is no problem that can't be solved with a good nursing session. It is the means through which I've lulled babies and toddlers to sleep. Nursing calms tantrums and dries tears, transitioning sobs to whimpers and eventually quiet. I have no doubt that parenting would be an entirely different experience if I had chosen not to breastfeed." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079702876-N431Q403IV0GKFODPSJR/08.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Melissa "I have been in awe of breastfeeding ever since that first time, minutes after Max was born; I loved how connected I felt to Max, and how rewarding it was to be able to soothe and nourish him. My return to work was a painful separation for both of us, made worse by Max being one of those babies who never took a bottle. Our breastfeeding relationship ended shortly thereafter and I was extremely heartbroken. For 19 months I went on a strict hypoallergenic diet and pumped 6-7 times per day, 7 days a week, to produce breastmilk he’d take in through both a feeding tube and a straw cup, all in the absence of breastfeeding. I simultaneously felt imprisoned by the pump and grateful for a technology that was helping me keep my child alive. For months, my breastmilk was the sole food source he could tolerate without extreme pain. I pumped to nourish him, to stay connected, to feel like I was doing something to help my child in a sea of what otherwise felt like helplessness." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079704100-BM7Q2CW1R1AO9F8Q1FXK/09.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Jill & Eva https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079704035-R0S6BQPEQ8OC0A6OUARD/10.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Crystal & Otto "Nursing has given my 20-month-old an element of consistency through a divorce, a layoff, and three moves (one cross-country, one temporary)—but thinking of the adaptability he has shown through it all, maybe that consistency is really for me. We’ll both find it hard to give it up when the time comes, as nothing rivals the closeness and well-being I feel when he is snuggled up against me, his cheek against my breast. And though he can’t yet verbally express how he feels, I can tell it’s still his favorite time, like “mama” is his favorite word (with “ball” a close second)." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079704826-Y4JCH4L79OR41BNHMFKY/11.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Molly & Isla "When my son was a baby I would walk over to his day care and nurse him. I still pumped every morning and on other rare occasions, but it was such an irritation to me. Nursing Isla during the workday was never an option. Providing expressed milk for her is a way I can be with her when we are physically apart. I’m able to slow down and think about her when I pump at work. As I prepare to pump in the mornings I tell her “I’m going to take some milk out for you for later!” While I pump she and her big brother play and giggle; I put on make-up. She tries to swipe my brushes and compacts and proudly absconds with them when she succeeds. This morning routine gives me the chance to be still and be with both of my children. This time is priceless to me." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079705020-APZVEM8VANVHGP9P7V2L/12.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Sailaja "For me, breastfeeding has become this moment of appreciation for my body. It has been a moment of forced calm in a sea of chaos. It has been a moment for me to connect, not just with my daughter, my son, but also my thoughts. Pumping though, tends to be a different reminder. A reminder of my perceived "failures" when I need to pump extra so he can eat. My failure at work, to not be (or want to be) a stay at home mom because my family needs the money...or I think we do. And my failure to "want some time" to myself, so I pump a bottle so I/we can go out. Breastfeeding and pumping, both have been such crucial parts of my journey in motherhood, and represent two very difficult and polarizing sides of a coin." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079705962-W62SP794BY18YUX2XQEP/13.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Jayme & Henry "When I was pregnant, my midwife suggested I take a breastfeeding class. I learned that to best encourage a good “latch,” the nipple should be positioned a little off-center, so more of the nipple is on the roof of the baby’s mouth. I learned about various nursing positions. I learned about the terrible things that can happen to a breastfeeding mother’s breasts (mastitis, engorgement, thrush…) and what to do about them. And I was given a long list of resources in case I needed support when the baby came. My breastfeeding class prepared me for a lot of worst-case scenarios, but it missed a lot of the reality of breastfeeding. When my milk came in, I got so engorged, my nipples couldn’t hold it all in – I woke up to sheets drenched in milk. Leaky nipples are not just for the engorged: every time I feed my son, the other breast leaks milk everywhere." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079706569-1GT8FGYDI3SDN93NMUE6/14.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Delilah & Amara "Expectations can break you. “Breastfeeding is natural. It will be easy.” “I will instantly fall in love with her.” My daughter was diagnosed with a lip/tongue ties at 5 weeks old, explaining why breastfeeding was so horribly painful. I think the pain made it difficult to bond with my daughter and contributed to my postpartum depression. Because our journey has been traumatic, I want to let others like me know that they are not alone. And I also want to celebrate our accomplishment. I am thankful we have achieved our goal of 2+ years breastfeeding and are still going strong. This was possible because I got good information early, had unwavering support of my husband, and didn’t stop until I found professionals who could properly diagnose and fix the problem." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079706906-EBHC1JX8Y2K600RLDU3U/15.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Cai & Silas "I never expected that I wouldn’t love it. Before my son was born, I thought, “I’ll breastfeed my baby, of course.” I had no idea how challenging it would be. Or that even after the initial struggle and discomfort, weeks of a thrush infection so painful that I wanted to cry every time he latched on, even after a consistently low supply and months of supplements and pumping to keep the milk flowing, even after all that I still wouldn’t be comfortable nursing. Over a year later, we are still going. Partly out of my own stubborn determination, partly out of his refusal to give it up. I am grateful and awed that my body has fed and sustained the health of this amazing little human being.

I would be the mom that would be wearing a sleeping baby on the front, sitting having a coffee, while the two toddlers were nursing out of each side of the carrier. My husband and I traveled quite a bit before we had children and were lucky to witness breastfeeding in public as a very normal part of everyday life. We spent 60 hours on a bus from Loas to Vietnam with a woman traveling alone with a baby and a toddler. They would go between playing with a couple of toys to checking in with their mom through nursing. They were happy as can be for a 60 hour bus ride. It amazes me that we don't see this in our culture since full term breastfeeding isn't the norm." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079711217-PCPQDO5DMGYGYA8AJQCU/21.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Leanne & Ravi "In the beginning breastfeeding was so hard, I thought I wouldn't be able to do it for long.

It has been the optimal job for breastfeeding; both my sons have breastfed in front of laptops, through conference calls, and slept on my lap during all-night work sessions. It has been challenging too. Work trips require months of planning, pumping, lugging breast milk through international terminals, pumping in airplane bathrooms, and weeks of anxiety. However, breastfeeding has been critical for my relationship with my children. Deadlines, long weeks, and stressful assignments can be all consuming, but because of breastfeeding, I was forced to take a break and be present with my babies.

He ended up stopping during my second pregnancy as I was in pain. I asked him if he could stop, he understood, it wasn’t difficult for him or me, it was a perfect time, he was 4 years old.

When I was 12 and my twin brother and sister were born, I watched my mom exclusively breastfeed them both for over two years like it was the most natural thing in the world. When my son was born last summer, and it became my turn to partake in this "natural" process, I was surprised to find that it felt anything but. It was painful, we couldn't get the latch right, all of the hold positions felt awkward, I developed oversupply, he was tense and anxious, and I was too. I may have given up had I not had my mom's example to draw on, great lactation support, and moral support from my sisters & sister-in-laws. We made it through those first tough weeks, and have developed a breastfeeding relationship that works for us.

When she was born, we transitioned into breastfeeding easily. For me, it has just made sense to continue it. It's always been grounding for both of us; a way for us to connect and slow down, even during the busiest moments. I love it when I'm rushing around to get ready in the morning, and she says, "Mommy nuk?", and I sit down, and I remember to breathe, and we do mommy nuk. I'm thankful for her in those moments; she helps me to take the space to laugh at myself when I'm frantically rushing to get to work, to remind myself and reassure her of what's most important--our connection and the present moment. At this point, she's almost ready to stop. She does it for a quick dose of comfort and is finished within seconds. It will be bittersweet when it's over, like every ending, but it's been a happy thing for us to make it as far as we have." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079722237-YGINCWJ4NG2NUH4KQ67E/40.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Corey & Maeve "I've realized this time that breastfeeding requires flexibility.

Its a lot of work, and while nobody said motherhood would be a cake walk, pumping really is tough! Some days I feel like a cow hooked up to my milking machine- my nipples are sore, they bleed and are cracked.

Lucky for me, yes I, my son takes to the bottle quite quickly just as long as I get the temperature warm enough for him to even consider taking a bottle over a warm breast.

I didn't know anyone who breastfed until I was well into my 30's. I thought that only poor people or people trying to make a statement nursed their babiesI can't believe how wrong I was. I wish that I could take back all of the harsh words, and ignorant glares. Nursing my children has been such a major part of their infancy. It was so hard and do much work at first. In the end, however it got so easy. I nursed muy daughter until she was almost two. I will nurse my son until he is ready to move on. My kids nurse their dolls.

When my little pumpkin came, I realized that I was the opposite of empty. In fact, I was so full of milk, love, fear, excitement, and joy that I felt I might explode. I was engorged so I had lumps the size of golf balls in my armpits that went down after a few days. While it’s not the only way, breastfeeding was a time in which I felt I could release some of the stuff building up inside of me and give all that great stuff directly to my beautiful baby girl.

I’m awakening to a deep inner knowing that has long been buried as I venture on a journey toward parenting in an evolutionary way, as nature intended. These children’s inherent sociability is nurtured with breastfeeding, bed-sharing, babywearing, responding empathetically and holding space for their full selves. I know they will respond to my expectations to be helpful, trustworthy, kind hearted, and good citizens. Breastfeeding is teaching me self-love too as I navigate setting boundaries - trusting that what feels best for me is also best for my child." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079737698-K24UIZ12PJNBVSJA3SLH/65.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Erin, Nate, Edie & Joshua https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079738491-TZ7YTZ0SCCHUY6V72CNE/66.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Tess, Wyatt & Cia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079738487-7FL0Z766K9RVN8EM2DQ4/67.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Kat, River & Phoebe "It has been both a gift and hard at times to be physically and emotionally linked to two human beings. I have never had the honor or level of commitment to someone, not even myself. When I was pregnant I was devoted to caring for myself. Ironically once I started breastfeeding, caring for my own body, mind and spirit become quite challenging. And yet, breastfeeding has taught me to sit still. to be with myself and look out the window. It has slowed me down enough to bear witness to my children -completely engrossed in the act of getting what they need. that is a gift." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079739709-YWFEWBV0SA3ODB0ZUR5B/68.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - P & E https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079739930-50OAXLHXEGQWTIDGAOQL/69.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Lynn & Daniel "Breastfeeding, for me, is so easy and so, so hard. After a year, I still have a very love/hate relationship with it. It was easy in the sense that he could latch, I made enough milk, and he is so warm and baby snuggles are the best - I love being able to nurse half asleep in bed in the middle of the night. But it is so, so hard too and there are times I hate doing it. I sometimes feel trapped by it, in a chair, in an uncomfortable position in the middle of the night, attached to a pump in the lactation room at work which made it hard to be a great employee even if it is my right to take this time to be able to feed my child. I also sometimes felt trapped by breast feeding, in a chair, in a stopped car, on a bench - there were times a bottle seemed so much easier. As I get close to the end of my breastfeeding journey with my little man, I am excited and sad at the same time. Excited for the freedom and a return to the sense that my body is my own and a sadness that I will miss the closeness that breastfeeding has provided me." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079741103-HOQ2D8B34PT2HGJ0PEDL/70.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Molly & Isla "When my son was a baby I would walk over to his day care and nurse him. I still pumped every morning and on other rare occasions, but it was such an irritation to me. Nursing Isla during the workday was never an option. Providing expressed milk for her is a way I can be with her when we are physically apart. I’m able to slow down and think about her when I pump at work. As I prepare to pump in the mornings I tell her “I’m going to take some milk out for you for later!” While I pump she and her big brother play and giggle; I put on make-up. She tries to swipe my brushes and compacts and proudly absconds with them when she succeeds. This morning routine gives me the chance to be still and be with both of my children. This time is priceless to me." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079740909-FTOI5AHG6BE60BX5NXEE/71.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Allison & Thomas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079742436-8J9WW96TGNZPJ9YBE4AI/72.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Allie & Finn "The breastfeeding relationship with my child has evolved markedly since our exhausted, blurry, elated first meeting. I watched, awed, as my wrinkly, just-newly-born infant wiggled his way independently to my breast from where he was placed on my stomach to try nursing. Breastfeeding, and motherhood, have provided me with the rare, unanticipated opportunity to feel like I am a part of something bigger than myself. It has felt simultaneously basic, mammalian and also like a superpower to have such an elegant solution for nourishing and soothing my child. As my nursling now transitions from the exuberant acrobatic antics of a breastfeeding toddler towards weaning, the experience of watching him grow more autonomous feels timely, inspiring but also a slightly bittersweet.

He's hungry and letting you and just about everyone know. I reach for the cold bottle of milk, hoping he won't notice. He isn’t having it and you’re not having his cries of hunger. You frantically scan your environment looking for solutions; CVS, Walgreens, a tailor, uh oh! But there in the distance a shining beacon of light…a coffee shop. You frantically enter with students, moms and retires gabbing away as if they weren’t aware that your little one was hungry. You step in line to wait you and your sons turn. He’s not happy about the wait, and quite frankly, neither are you. You ask for a hot cup of water and the 17 year old looks at you in puzzlement, like you are joking with him. Baby still crying, you repeat the simple request. “Can I please have a cup half filled with hot water? “That will be ten cents.” With my third hand I somehow manage to reach in my back pocket and hand him over my credit card in return for the warm cup of water. I quickly move to a vacant seat, submerge the bottle of cold milk and take a breath." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079743711-HXHDRGQTO91RQBO6Q2QJ/75.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Nicole, Gavin & Ryan "Breastfeeding is a controversial subject amongst mothers. Breastfeeding your baby is a choice that you make, however some mothers feel guilty if they don’t breastfeed or if it doesn’t come as easily as some make it out to be. There is always going to be one person whom makes breastfeeding look like a piece of cake, but in reality breastfeeding isn’t easy and you need to work hard at it to make it work for you and your baby. Formula feeding is often the choice among most mothers. Formula feeding is widely accepted compared to breastfeeding, however the benefits to both the baby and the mother are often overlooked. Formula feeding is widely accepted as a form of feeding your baby over breastfeeding. When you are out at a baby related store, you will find walls and walls of bottles, pacifiers, and formula related items. There are so many choices for a formula feeding mother when it comes to feeding their child." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079744538-KW6FE2HIYTS4DRF8LPSD/76.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Delayne & Felix "I remember taking a good long look downwards in the days before my first was born and wondering how on earth this feeding thing was going to work. I did not anticipate how much I would love feeding my three little ones in the months and years that followed. Now, as I wind down nursing my third and last baby, it is extremely hard to say goodbye to this era, this capability, this coziness. For me breastfeeding has not been so much about what my kids have eaten as it has been about prolonging the intimacy of pregnancy; holding onto the feeling of two bodies being completely in synch, providing calm and comfort at all hours of the day and night; and creating quiet moments of connection in the midst of chaos." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079744693-939HLC682NCDO3ZUPGL3/77.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Cai & Silas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079745808-K99KNRM5EARRTWKH6K8C/78.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Erin, Nate, Harrison & Joshua https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1496079746482-RN6NVW0AKUX7UBYB8R71/79.Latched.On.jpg Latched On - The Realities of Breastfeeding - Melinda, Mae, Ellen & Raina "Before I had kids I thought breastfeeding would be easy; I’m a mammal after all!

I would be the mom that would be wearing a sleeping baby on the front, sitting having a coffee, while the two toddlers were nursing out of each side of the carrier. My husband and I traveled quite a bit before we had children and were lucky to witness breastfeeding in public as a very normal part of everyday life. We spent 60 hours on a bus from Laos to Vietnam with a woman traveling alone with a baby and a toddler. They would go between playing with a couple of toys to checking in with their mom through nursing. They were happy as can be for a 60 hour bus ride.

I wish that I could take back all of the harsh words, and ignorant glares.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1530819549004-F81N2D9K7420OTT5VG48/23.Latched.On.jpg Latched On Melissa & Augustis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/c4595ad8-66dd-42a1-9f47-b243f817ceb8/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.133.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Erin & Family “Breastfeeding is my number one parenting tool. I have used it to nourish and comfort all three of my little ones. There is no problem that can't be solved with a good nursing session. It is the means through which I've lulled babies and toddlers to sleep. Nursing calms tantrums and dries tears, transitioning sobs to whimpers and eventually quiet. I have no doubt that parenting would be an entirely different experience if I had chosen not to breastfeed.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/52240007-4b50-46af-9972-d39a9122dcc4/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.127.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Mikel & Kyh-el "Anything to to do with the breasts is seen as sexual because we live in a hyper sexual society. Then to be a Black Womxn on top of that, you are constantly over sexualized." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1531854996665-SGP8TLW1YIFCTPM0IOVP/04.Latched.On+%281%29.jpg Latched On Caitlin & Eloise "I think we do women a great disservice by acting like nursing should be simple, that it will come naturally and easily, that their bodies and their babies will just know what to do. Because so often it is anything but easy, and by not being up front about that, we set women up to feel disappointed in themselves if they struggle, to believe that they fail their children if they don’t love every second.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/97f5790f-0a61-41dc-a916-cdcf6c7542f6/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.116.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Rachel, Theo & Beatrice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/e05968ba-70a3-4f5b-9726-67c537d16b0a/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.129.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Michele & August https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1dba5f74-992c-4e78-8b68-30cbfcabb4fa/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.054.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Rachel & Beatrice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1493146965801-8W5SCW6NH8GHIZVDAYTS/08.Mike%26Eli.jpg Latched On Mike & Eli “It’s really not until you decide to venture outside of your home, that you realize the complexity of bottle feeding your child. You pre-fill a bottle and in addition take a frozen bag of breastmilk that your wife has carefully extracted, bagged and labeled days before, with the date, and volume, just in case you’re gone for longer than expected.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/f392219b-5ba5-49eb-9be9-77b89ad621e2/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.107.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Katrina “Being a working mom is tough. Managing being a working mom who is pumping takes extra effort. While on maternity leave, I tried to build a substantial supply of milk in my freezer for when I went back to work. When I returned to work, I was thankful for a supportive supervisor, coworkers, and a designated spot to pump. My job requires me to be on call for the hospital. When my beeper goes off, that means I have to be at the hospital within 30 minutes. I always have to be prepared to leave in a moments notice with my pump bag ready. It's not easy, but I wouldn't change it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1530818986771-DSVYX66XNGMSSDF9A7FG/P%26E.jpg Latched On P & E https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1152f383-d2dc-4914-b130-cc0f72579eed/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.009.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Libi & Children “What does nursing mean to me? It means I can nourish my baby. I can comfort him when nothing else works, I can give him an extra boost when he’s sick. Mainly, it means that multiple times a day, I am forced to stop, even if for a split second, and live in the present. Breathe in the moment. Connect with my son in a world in which others command my attention, the clock ticks too fast, the images are fleeting and the growth is too fast. In that split second, I have something forcing me to be present and grateful for the responsibility that I’ve been given with these beautiful children of mine.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/2d90969d-fa55-44d4-971c-c1c38c651810/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.126.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Mike & Eli https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/0d6f785d-f99c-4c4c-b3c0-9ff8bc1149f8/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.103.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Molly & Isla https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/f62babb5-be67-407d-9146-b412838547c7/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.118.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Emi & Twins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/a08088c7-e548-433f-8d13-02f8e55a14e1/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.091.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Keyla & Kaiden "In my head I had a dreamt hat breastfeeding was a beautiful thing.

It allows for us to get sleep and my son to nurse as he needs throughout the night. After working in Haiti with breastfeeding mothers and being educated as a lactation consultant, I envisioned my personal breastfeeding journey to be easy. It was quite the opposite! My son had a serious tongue tie causing severe nipple pain that took a couple weeks to diagnose and even longer to treat. With serious determination and perseverance we made it to six months of exclusive breastfeeding and continue as we recently introduced solids." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/3a32be39-7927-4748-88fe-42aa42554b2f/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.053.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Alex & Hunter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1530819337747-I8N8IROBTJYR252NIA4N/16.Latched.On.jpg Latched On Kelly & Natalie "While pregnant, I had these idyllic visions of working-from-home with my baby: nursing her comfortably in a rocking chair, taking conference calls at my desk while she napped... Then she was born and reality hit! My daughter always seems to wake up and needs to nurse right in the middle of a meeting. My quiet workspace was moved to the middle of the living room, our version of ground control, with toys thrown everywhere and me cradling her in one arm while I check emails. It isn’t pretty, it isn’t perfect – but we make it work." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/9d7349d6-6761-4922-8246-461f542ce002/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.104.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/4c32f2f0-0833-46bf-9787-9dfbc9a69e2f/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.112.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Keyla & Kaiden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/a63c5095-da46-4fc5-a615-122c44a42284/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.096.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Dominique & Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/b247c238-ab5d-499f-9b35-b3d436b4b130/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.040.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Tess, Wyatt & Ceia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1531854401162-86HCOASZM5JJOEM6G8VD/14.Latched.On.jpg Latched On Michele & Riley https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/8f1668dc-c9d3-48ac-897a-8aed7a4c49b7/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.111.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Katrina & Child https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/babafb6c-25c4-4b69-b9dc-bbd5e0b67d0b/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.120.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Jennifer & Child "The bond is my favorite.

I still pumped every morning and on other rare occasions, but it was such an irritation to me. Nursing Isla during the workday was never an option. Providing expressed milk for her is a way I can be with her when we are physically apart. I’m able to slow down and think about her when I pump at work. As I prepare to pump in the mornings I tell her “I’m going to take some milk out for you for later!” This morning routine gives me the chance to be still and be with both of my children. This time is priceless to me." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/4b0eded6-0ca2-4988-b65f-df21b2f897b1/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.114.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Mikel&Kyh-el https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/617526f8-7dfb-47c9-846a-80effb2f0b73/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.034.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Emi & Twins “Being a breastfeeding twin mom is kind of like having a secret superpower. When I’m at work or out in the city without my twins, I often think how people passing me have no idea that inside my body I’m currently making food for two people. It’s a lot of work and I often feel like I can hardly keep up with eating, drinking, and pumping enough, but I move through the world with a special kind of confidence and pride now because after all, I’m a very important person. Not that I wasn’t important before, but now no matter what else I’m doing now I’m also either feeding a baby or making milk for them!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/78eabc71-6302-40f4-8cba-4a48cd8c7c6e/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.037.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Rachel, Theo & Beatrice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/ea1b1bc0-dde3-416e-950e-26292bec7936/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.108.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Brittany & Child “I’ve referred to many things as “rollercoasters” but I think breastfeeding may be most deserving of that comparison. I started out with a goal of six months. After the first few days, I was sure I couldn’t last and I wanted to quit as soon as possible. It was painful, stressful, and it ruled my life. But it slowly got easier and now we have it figured out. I love this special time with him, especially as he is already growing so much and needing me less. It’s looking like I may be the one who needs to be weaned someday.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/41ff1c9d-c64d-430b-92c1-b37807326029/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.043.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Sara https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/a599a73e-e09b-4419-b434-1023b3648f02/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.136.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Brittany & Child “He took a bottle like a champ for the first few months, so I thought we were in the clear. But as time went on, he became more attached to nursing. I have been so stressed about what will happen once I go back to work. Of course my main concern is him actually eating during the day, preferably without screaming until he breaks out in a rash, but I also worry about him missing the comforting aspect and both of us losing that bonding time. I can’t deny that I love the sweet looks of pure relief that he makes when we are reunited to nurse after he’s had to take a bottle.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1530819025142-LVZBQ8W6AOHPI7KXWZ5Z/12.Latched.On.jpg Latched On Emily & Eleanor "The first few weeks of breastfeeding were emotional chaos. The magic of feeding Eleanor with my own body was instantaneous, but it was immediately accompanied by self-doubt, fear, pain, and loneliness. By the third day I was certain I couldn’t continue. By the sixth day I was certain I could. By the tenth I wasn’t certain of anything. Now I can’t stand to think of the day that I finally stop nursing her. So many memories of her first weeks have faded in the months that have followed, but I can summon the simultaneous joy and dread of her first few feedings with no effort at all." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1493314415378-8BW2VXSDMKVHSI8ZTS2W/image-asset.jpeg Latched On Danielle & Thea "Nursing has, impossibly, gifted us more time... I wish her little body would fit, soft and heavy, in my arms for always. Still, in the shade of her deepest sleeps, I can see her rosy mouth, eyes closed and head bobbing, as she anxiously searches for my breast. And time feels, for just a moment, a little more manageable." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/422ab735-4cce-4113-a7d4-8bb08b4245c1/LatchedOn.GinaMarieBrocker.007.jpg Latched On - Make it stand out Rachel & child “We have been lucky. For the most part, nursing has come easy to us; and I hope to continue until he self-weans. We’ve had our challenges, but nothing that made breastfeeding more stressful than rewarding. Some days I yearn to have my body to myself again, to not have little fingers picking my nose or sticky hands pulling my hair; but every day he continues to nurse is a day I can hold onto my baby a little bit longer. I know I’ll cry when he decides he’s all done. I almost cry just thinking about it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573f6be2ab48dec01e51f8d3/1493145441325-VLI4K0M3RRHVZTVEQ1D8/01.Monica%2CMarlin%26Simona.jpg Latched On
