@enchantednanny: If you are not 100% certain that what you are about to say to a mum is helpful then don’t say it particularly when it revolves around breastfeeding. People are so unaware of the ramifications of the things that they say. #parentsoftiktok #breastfeadingmomma #breastfeeding #tonguetie #feedingbaby #newbornbabycute
I needed to see this today ❤️I can’t breastfeed due to my headache medicine that I take- the guilt I feel is immense

We don’t support mums to breastfeed in the UK whist making people feel awful for it!

Thank you for this. Not being able to BF my daughter broke my heart. I’m still having therapy for it over 1 year on. I tried, but was let down by SO many people. ☹️

MM :
I couldn’t breastfeed because my son didn’t have the suck, swallow breathe reflex because he has an incredibly rare genetic syndrome that affects his whole nervous system.

Thank you🤍I’m a midwife but couldn’t breastfeed. Gave it everything I had for 4 weeks and it destroyed my mental health. I triple fed and it took away my time to bond with my baby/1

Katie :
Yes! Thank you. I greaved my breastfeeding dreams when my daughter couldn’t latch. She was incredibly bruised from delivery and couldn’t tolerate being near the breast…

Very small amounts of women can’t due to medical reasons. But it’s very small amount

We need so much more support! Tiny daughter was born with a tongue tie & couldn't latch. I had amazing support from BF midwives and we are still BFing 12 months later, albeit every feed is a struggle

Mrs V :
I desperately wanted to breast feed but my baby son just wouldn’t latch because he was so desperate for milk and was fed formula in special care for 24 hours. I tried and tried but still was judged!

Alyssa 🌻 :
I couldn't when my baby was born because I almost died and was in the ICU on 24/7 intensive care. However I didn't give up and a week later I began to BF her and went on to breastfeed her exclusively

Thank you so much for talking about this. I don’t know why people are so obsessed with how we feed our babies.

What would you say to someone who struggled to breastfeed as someone who is actively breastfeeding? I never know what to say because I worry it sounds arrogant?

Grace Marina :
There isn’t enough help for mums who want to breastfeed. A lot of mums want to breastfeed, but struggle and the mum guilt we feel when we can’t is awful 😔

I hated when people questioned. As a medication change meant I could. Constantly got oh but you were doing so well. Surely u don't need the medication

Me :
I couldn’t. Everyone suffered in our family and I even thought about $uicide. This time I will feed my second baby with formula without discussion.

I couldn't and it broke my heart. It hospitalised my daughter after 5 days but I still felt shame when bottle feeding.

I was so desperate to BF but it didn't work. I worked so hard for him but I just couldn't do enough for him.

DrewWooldridge :
But if we don’t talk about “why” then we will never improve the support out there for people who want to BF but have been unable to for reasons that could be helped.

a lot of it is due to poor education, tons of women I see think they "haven't got enough milk" so they quit. 99% of them have enough milk. very very few women truly cannot breastfeed

Such a good video. So much of the ‘goodwill’ tied up in this conversations is actually shaming. This video is needed.

1000 times this. The smugness and lack of awareness of some breast feeding mums makes me want to scream at times.
