(2/3) “When baby number 2 was due, I educated myself as much as I could. I joined a Facebook group—Milky Mommas—run by lactation consultants. They give out all this great information! When she was born, it all came together and I thought, “Oh, I know where I went wrong!” They immediately caught her tongue-tie, and she developed jaundice because my milk was also taking a little bit to come in, but they offered us donor milk instead of formula. This was very helpful because it wasn’t as heavy on her stomach. Being at a baby-friendly hospital made all the difference. So we kept at it, and my milk came in on day 5. We had her tongue-tie clipped at 12 weeks. I want to make it to 2 years breastfeeding. Of course, it’s always up to her but I just really want to make it to that 2-year mark if we can.”
