#BreastfeedingJourney I didn't breastfeed my first child. After delivering him i had trouble getting him to latch - i also had to address my suicidality. The hospital lactation consultant was adamant about #ExclusiveBreastfeeding & anything less was unacceptable. I spent the rest of the hospital stay with nurses shaming me for using #Formula, saying his brain wouldn't develop & he'd experience leukemia. I was paralyzed with fear when i needed compassion.
