Meet Erin!
Here are her thoughts on breastfeeding:
“I nursed my older son and am currently nursing my 5 month old. I nursed exclusively for about 9 months with my first and hope to go longer with my baby now. I only wish i had more support when I first became a mom because I would have liked to nurse longer. Today, I have that support system. As a mother I know that I need to be the one standing up for what I know is best for my family. One way that I do this is to keep my baby close and nurse him whenever he needs to, wherever we go. As I have become more self confident through the years, breastfeeding in public has become a much greater aspect of my life. While nursing is public is simply a mom feeding her baby, unfortunately many women are self conscious about it. It just takes a little getting used to but i find it can be one of the best ways to help others learn about breastfeeding. Nursing a baby is a wonderful aspect of life, there is no reason to hide that. For me, nursing is the greatest tool I have as a mother. I can provide love, comfort, safety, nutrition, and so much more all by holding my baby close and nursing him.”
