Anyone still out there? Echo? 😆
Life is moving along wonderfully (maybe too quickly) over here! My life-long bestie's first BABY is no longer a baby, so I had my arm twisted to take some senior photos! I don't even remember the last time I took seniors, but I think I dusted off the rust. 😅 Yes, I'm feeling so old! Hope you're all well!

Cutting back on work, being selective on the work I chose to do, means I can shoot more of what and how I want, without really caring about if everyone likes it. It means creative (and emotional) freedom. And so, I give you the blurry version of this dance, because just like this image, childhood is a bit blurry. When she's older, this is how I imagine she'll see her memory of this fun day, dancing in the splattering sunlight. 🍂

World Breastfeeding Week is winding down, and if you've been reading the week's posts, you'll probably see that breastfeeding can bring along many challenges, but oh so many rewards. If breastfeeding is your goal, but you're finding it more difficult than you'd imagined, please reach out to a local lactation consultant. It can be one of the most rewarding parts of parenting, but much like other things in like, it can sometimes take a village. And that's ok! Sarah DoMoe is a local momma and LC that is experienced, patient, knowledgeable, and supportive in whatever your feeding goal is. You can contact her at Northwest Ohio Lactation Services, LLC if you are needing support in the area.

"It's hard to believe I've been breastfeeding for over 8 years, yet the raw emotions and struggles of trying to figure it all out those first few days and weeks with my son are all so clear in my memory. Knowing what I know now, I would have reached out for more support and found that he had an undiagnosed tongue tie. Thankfully, we just never gave up and I've been able to successfully breastfed each of my children. Not without struggles, mastitis multiple different times over the years, dairy intolerance with each, wondering if they're eating enough those first few weeks. Thankfully it got easier (or maybe your confidence just grows) with each.

I participate in world breastfeeding week because my hope and prayer is my daughters and the next generation of women feel more supported and more and more reliable resources because the norm and not the exception. I'm so gratefully Ashley continues to do this work to support moms year after year so we can capture these fleeting memories."

Our culture often forgets to Mother the mother, but it is so important.

"My breastfeeding journey this time around has been a total roller coaster of emotions. I was so confident that because I was successful the first time around I’d have ZERO issues on round two. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Ainsley was born with a full tongue tie AND an upper lip tie. We were able to have them both released at 9 days old, but those 9 days were the LONGEST, most painful and emotionally draining days of my life. She lost so much weight, and it hurt the both of us no matter what I tried to do. All of this in the middle of COVID at it’s all time highest. So here I am, 3:30am on a Saturday night, googling a local IBCLC near me. Adding in “Needed ASAP” or whatever verbiage would get one to help us as soon as they could. I came across Nest Collaborative. They’re online based IBCLC’s. I figured there’s nothing to lose so why not. Scheduled an appt for 10:30am the next morning. They bill your insurance directly, but if insurance doesn’t cover they DO NOT balance bill. WHAT??? That’s so awesome of them!! Ladies! This woman changed my life that day. She had my husband run to the store for ni**le shields (we did what we could to avoid but Ainsley couldn’t even lift her tongue off of the floor of her mouth) while Ainsley and I were on video with her. She was so gentle and informative and all around patient. And Ainsley latched. I cried. It was like an entire weight was taken off of my shoulders and my baby can eat. The raw emotion I felt was crippling and to feel it lessen within seconds of her latching was just everything I needed.

I bring you to today, at 7 months old, and she is a breastfeeding champ. I am blessed this time around to be home with both of my children so naturally she is my little momma’s girl. She will not take a bottle of any kind. I’m pretty sure I have tried close to every single one on the market. She makes herself gag as soon as it touches her lips and then looks at me and smiles. I joke often and tell everyone her first words are going to be “boob Ma!”

The struggles are hard. At times I look back and wonder how I got through them. How didn’t I give up? Truth is, I have no idea. But what I do know is that the end result is the most rewarding and loving experience I could have ever imagined. It was worth every tear, and sleepless night to get to where we are today.

Breastfeeding may be natural, but that doesn't mean it's always easy. In order to push through, we need support. Way to go, Mandi!

"I’ve been nursing my 4 babes on and off for 6 years! It’s been full of ups and LOTS of downs. I’ve had to eat strictly dairy free for all of them and can I just say, I miss cheese! All 4 have had tongue and lip ties, I’ve dealt with D-MER, and nursed through PPD and PPA. I didn’t write all that to pat myself on the back. The support I’ve received from family, friends, and my IBCLC (shout out to Sarah DoMoe!) have totally helped me reach my goals! What I’m most proud in my 6 years of breastfeeding is conquering my anxieties about my kids’ size. I’ve gone from freaking out if they didn’t nurse every hour (or more!!) and constantly having them weighed to following their lead and enjoying the journey. I hope my “story” can encourage at least one sweet mama to enjoy their journey. ❤️ "

It's World Breastfeeding Week! We'll be sharing breastfeeding stories to celebrate and show why breastfeeding is important to us. First up, Meghan. Isn't she beautiful?

"It was important for me to have these special moments captured by Ashley’s talent for many reasons. As a mother of 4 boys, I am grateful to have had the opportunity and support to breastfeed successfully. Despite many bumps in our breastfeeding journey, it has led to so many positives. After my first son was born, I had the burning desire to help other mothers meet their breastfeeding goals. After several years of hard work, I was able to become an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). Each journey is unique, and it is a blessing to be there for families who may be struggling like I once was. I am so grateful to be able to tandem nurse my last two babies and remember these special moments. These moments are the ones I will look back on, cherish, and miss so deeply."
