The witching hour has been kicking my butt!! Does it get easier?

At my 6 week postpartum appointment…a little bit nervous 😬 🫣

3 minutes pumping 😱

Thank you People Parents 🫶🏽

Mom Was Told Not to Breastfeed While Living with HIV. Years Later, She Made a Different Choice (Exclusive) After she was threatened with a police visit for suggesting she may breastfeed during her first pregnancy, one mom living with HIV explains why she ultimately chose to breastfeed her next child years later.

Life lately

Tried going to the gym today…LOL WHYYY we can try again in 2 weeks lol

After 10 mins of pumping + I spilled like 2 ounces 😠😭

5 ways I prevent passing HIV to my newborn while I breastfeed 🤱🏽

1. I am exclusively breastfeeding. Per updated CDC guidelines, combo feeding (formula & BM) increases chances of mastitis = more blood in the milk

2. I’m pumping when i feel engorged to avoid mastitis

3. Create a freezer stash in case I develop mastitis. (But mainly hubby uses for night time feeds 🫶🏽)

4. I get my viral load tested monthly while I breastfeed or bottle feed him my breastmilk. If I ever become detectable, I will immediately discontinue breastfeeding.

5. Most importantly, I take my medication daily! No exceptions, no excuses. (I’ve missed dosages in the past)🏆

God bless you & I hope this helps someone on the same journey as me 🫶🏽
