When to Find Breastfeeding Support & Help (and Where to Find It) | Dickinson & Bismarck, North Dakota Birth Photographer

Breastfeeding is can be one of the most beautiful and rewarding experiences of motherhood, but it can also be one of the most challenging.

When I was pregnant with my first, my midwife encouraged me to attend a local La Leche League meeting, but as an introvert with serious social anxiety (I didn’t know that then, lol), that sounded terrifying, so I didn’t go. Looking back and knowing what I know now about all of my particular breastfeeding experiences, I don’t actually regret not going. However, I do wish I had done more personal education on what normal newborn behavior looks like and what to expect in the early days of breastfeeding.
