(2/4) "I started dealing with postpartum depression that manifested as a lot of anxiety. I was in a really bad place and wanted to quit nursing every day. It felt like a constant struggle: one minute I would be saying “no, I’m going to quit” and the next I would read some encouraging blogs and decide to stick with it a little longer. Finally, when he was two months old, I found this specialist doctor. He did a tongue tie and lip tie procedure. The following five days, my son would barely even take the bottle, he wouldn’t nurse, nothing. All I could think was that I had ruined my baby. On the fifth day, he all of a sudden just latched on and started nursing. It was a miracle. From then on it was a dream. I started to love nursing, and we kept going till he was 16 months old. It became a great journey for me and a great relationship with him.”
