why I will nurse

I will nurse my 2nd daughter because I was not able to nurse my first. We had moved nearly 6 hrs away, I had no help and the hospital had no lactation consultant that I could find, just a few well meaning nurses.

My mother did not nurse any of the 3 siblings so she wasnt sure why I even was upset about not being able to figure it out.

Thankfully, my Princess is almost 4 with no health issues to speak of. But, I have been proactive this time because I want my daughters growing up in the best possible environment & with the best possible start. I will do this to leave a legacy for my children.


The end.

Note from Liz: what an great story.
