Sharing in someone else’s success does not detract from our own success.
I am also a believer in the power of sharing our breastfeeding stories
Now, so many of us share our stories of motherhood and breastfeeding over the internet. This has opened up various avenues of communication and connection, and that is awesome. But it has its pitfalls for sure. Just take any comment section on any breastfeeding article or post. Whether you share a breastfeeding success or a failure, someone has some kind of problem with it. Someone feels attacked.
Case in point: Last week, actress and singer Jessica Simpson, who recently gave birth to her third child, shared a picture of milk she’d pumped for her baby. It was a very full bottle of milk – a little over 5 ounces. All that being said, when a mother shares her breastfeeding successes – her dreams and goals as a breastfeeding mom – it has nothing to do with anyone else. Truly. If you feel triggered, or if you are concerned about someone else feeling triggered, that is understandable. Go ahead and block or unfriend anyone or anything that you can’t deal with.
