These photos were taken in celebration of all three of us making it one year being able to breastfeed without ever needing any supplement. We did the every two hour wake ups, combined with taking an hour to nurse them and lay them down. We did cluster feeding together. We navigated teething. We went through nursing strikes with screaming instead of nursing. We learned how to tandem nurse, how to nurse in the car, in public, in bed, on the couch.One of the hardest thing about finding out you are expecting twins is having to throw your expectations out the window. One of the things that changes is the nursing experience and I was unsure if it was even possible. With all the other compromises that we made because we were having multiples, I very much wanted to make this work and not have to compromise on this too.There were times when they were little when I forgot why I wanted to nurse so badly. I didnt get naps, because I was the only one who could feed them, or pump while someone else did. I couldnt leave my children very long at all and for a while, I just couldnt, because they didnt take bottles. But along with those hard times were the best ones.I got to experience what it is like to continue to sustain my babies outside of the womb. I got to give them the best nutrition they could ever hope to get. I have so many fond memories of quiet moments in the dark where all three of us came together in beauty.There is so much false information regarding nursing that is commonly spread in the US and in honor of breastfeeding week, I am sharing my prides and joys, as well as the pride and joy I’ve had to be able to continue nursing one of my children at 16 months (the other one has better things to do and laughs at me when I try). I also hope that if you are wanting to nurse or are struggling, that you can take these photos and my experience as encouragement. I am one of the many women who is here to support, encourage and give information to you as you go through your journey along side us:)
