😀 Oh the struggle of breast feeding. Oh the Struggle of breast feeding. Oh the struggle of breast feeding, but what a benefit!!!!!
So, husband jokes on a regular about how he wants my breast back, 😁😁. The queen isn't having it. I really wish I would of done the education on what breastfeeding does to the women body. I mean, since I came home from the hospital 6/29/2020 with Queen Aliyah Ziona (no last name), My emotions have been, everywhere. North, south, east, west, Indiana, Israel, North Dakota, and Living room, car, bathroom, Sprouts, and wherever else. I had no idea, when your body is refilling with Gods Milk, that it goes through stages. I'm going to take you through the stages.
#1- Depression: I started feeling detached from the Queen Aliyah Ziona (no last name). Like while she is trying to latch on, I start to look down at her and say "Who's child is this". I feel weak and start to wonder how long the sky is going to remain in the heavens and if the stars are going to start tumbling down on me and destroy the earth. YEP!!! I was thinking like this, every single time she latched on, something rubbed against my nipple, or my breast was having a refill(let down). (About 3 minutes)
#2-Sick to the stomach: I would want to run to the toilet, right after the depression would leave. I would loose my appetite. So, I don't recommend you eat and breastfeed or pump. You will loose ALL interest. (1-2 minutes)
#3-Dehydrated- I start to immediately feel dehydrated once the sick feeling leaves. This is why they recommend to have a cup of water next to you when your pumping or breastfeeding. I'm being serious you will feel like sponge-bob in that episode when he went on land.
Those are all of the steps of emotions in pumping and breastfeeding. There isn't a such thing as Postpartum in my life, its just clearly called Breast-feeding adventures. So, if you feel that you want to stop breastfeeding or you feel like you need Xanax, trust me when i say its normal. I feel that this is the part of pain in child barring years, that The Most High said he would curse Eve with for the fall of man (Gen 3:16). This isn't just something I went through because I've spoken to my Home-Queens, they went through the same exact thing. Maybe its a Hebrew thing, I'm not sure but its common.
But don't allow that to make you run from the BEST DECISION, NATURAL DECISION, AND FREEST 💪DECISION, That you can ever make in life. If I would of known the benefits of God Milk, I would've never ever gave my 3 Kings formula. Being UNeducated will make you UNhealty. The word says, You will perish from the lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Take this sis, as knowledge. I am going to give you my key points as WHY YOU SHOULD BREASTFEED!!!
*1-Genius child: I took my Queen Aliyah to the doctors for her 6 month check-up and the doctors and nurses were amazed on how she was saying Hi, WITH WORDS NOT SIGNAL! To everyone that came in the room. Then she begin to say, no, to me with action and the Doctor said, this is the benefit of breastfeeding. My Queen Aliyah Ziona (No last Name) is exceptionally smart. She will be one of the smartest people in this world.
READY FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!
*2-NO CYCLE!!!- LET THE NO BLEED CONTINUE!!!!!! APTTMH!!!!. When my child turned 6 weeks, I was like O! NO!. I'm pregnant. I ran to the store bought a pregnancy test, and prayed to The Most High, Please don't let your daughter of Sarah, be pregnant. I mean, I know He told us to be fruitful and multiply but I just literally had a child. Sciatica and all!.
I took the test and it showed, NEGATIVE!!!!. So i looked up why my cycle didn't come at 6 weeks and the first question was Are you breastfeeding? So supposedly according to research, and lab work i guess (I'm no doctor), Its common for a women to not have a cycle up 1 year of post-partum. Aint that a Blimp! I could've not had a cycle for an extra 6 months and not be pregnant with my other 3 kings. This benefit alone is good enough for me to Only Breastfeed. Now yes, I kept extra pregnancy test under the sink. Unfortunately for me it only lasted for about 5 months and it skipped my 7th and continued on. I believe its because I stopped pumping and only did direct nipple to mouth contact. She stopped accepting bottles at like 7 months. I completely went in the wrong direction. I was supposed to start winging(wrongly spelled)but she refused to latch off. SO now my husband is out of the bed and the Queens sleep in the Master Bedroom alone lol.
*3-Weight lost like No Other. Hydroxy cut, Jenny Craig, Buddy Love, I mean No one or supplement have nothing on God Giving Snap Back Program-Called Brest Feeding. Pre-Baby, I was wearing a size 11, post baby today I WEAR A SIZE 6. Who would of known. Now This isn't my favorite Benefit, cause I feel I lost my Butt. My husband says it's there but I'M NOT SEEING IT. ....
So, I wrote this blog just to share my journey in Breastfeeding for the 1ST TIME OUT OF 4 TIMES I could've. Also, to educate you on what to expect if you do breastfeed. I will most defiantly do it again and teach Queen Aliyah Ziona (No last name) to do the same. Join me on my journey on natural Home Birth, on my next go round...... Bye
