I felt the need to write. After going through a traumatic experience it is very easy to feel differently about yourself. Negatively about yourself. However, it is normal. Talk to someone who will listen, be nonjudgemental, genuine. Damn talk to yourself. look after yourself. do things to make yourself feel good. get a massage, eat cake, whatever makes you happy.

Sometimes slow down a little and whatever you do, do it for you! Having a strong mind creates a powerful person. #MentalHealthAwareness

After giving birth I was 54kg then my weight ...

It has been a week to the day since I last breastfed K and to be completely honest, it is a bittersweet feeling! I thought this day would never come. I breastfed for a year and 3months. My boobs are done for. The damage is done now so, I guess it is what it is. Through breastfeeding K, I saw how women who did choose to breastfeed their babies, were frowned upon as though it wasn't a normal thing to do. The way people react to a woman breastfeeding her child is out of order, however being a 'strong woman that I am (LOL) I didn't care. As a mother, your child needs come first. Have I breastfed in public? YES. would I do ever do it again? YES. I have only done it in the park and on a plane. K only started to take the bottle at around 11 months, if I remember correctly. No matter what I tried [ formula, breast milk, changing the bottle, cold milk, warm milk] he just would not accept the bottle. On a good day, he would drink 4oz of pumped milk, but it was lik...
