Breastfeeding isn’t always the most easiest or exciting task to do in motherhood.

When we get home from the hospital with our newborn we want nothing more than to bond with our baby (and rest).

Breastfeeding is one of the ways in which we do bond with our babies and if we are lucky it goes smoothly.

It can also be an exhausting task and time-consuming especially if you are trying to get your milk to come in.

I remember I would sit for hours on the couch while my newborn cluster-fed to trigger his milk supply.

While at times it was a bonding experience I also got bored and realized that I could maximize this time to take care of me and him.

These tasks have been nourishing for my mind and body and ultimately for us as a tribe.

I am 6 months postpartum and still breastfeeding our son.

Breastfeeding is a rewarding experience and also a big commitment.
