I recently did a video – 5 things I wish I’d known before I had a baby. In it I talked openly about my struggles with breastfeeding. I don’t like the breast v bottle debate and I don’t entertain it here on my blog. I have fed my own children with both breast and bottle and I am happy with my own choices. At the end of the day we are all mums and we all want the best for our families don’t we. That is not the point of this post obviously.
That said, I have so much admiration for women who are breastfeeding. I breastfed my daughter for five months and in all honesty it was a bit of a battle. Kind of an understatement but maybe that is for a different post as well.
This post and this massive Lansinoh giveaway is a little nod of respect to the mamas who selflessly share their bodies with their babies for as long as is necessary. It’s hard work whichever way you look at it and you are all doing amazingly well.

When I was breastfeeding, I relied heavily on this brand to help me on the journey and they never let me down so I’m thrilled to be working with them on this giveaway.

I love the closeness you get from breastfeeding x
That milky smile of contentment after they got done eating, the feeling of empowerment, knowing that my body is doing what it was created to do. Just that unbeatable feeling of closeness and togetherness that I don’t feel from any other activity the kids and I share.
knowing that I’m doing the best for my baby
You get to spend time with your baby and bond x
the bond you get between baby and me
the closeness i have with my little one and it’s our time together
I found breastfeeding so hard to start with, but that feeling when your baby falls asleep after a feed, and it’s just the two of you, it’s priceless. No other feeling like it. xx
The closeness of that little face and the lovely noise.
The cuddles and warmth of it.
Loved the ease and closeness, although it was hard at first x
the ease of it no messing around
I love the special bond we share, she is 8 months old now and thriving, and I know she is getting natural goodness xXx
The bond between you and baby
I don’t breastfeed myself, I plan on passing this prize along to be best friend who’s expecting if I win. I could imagine that the closeness would be the best aspect!
