We weren't meant to raise our children alone, Mama. So we are here to give you a helping hand, share a recipe, chat about our insights of Motherhood and give you access to experts in mother care, birth, pregnancy and postpartum. Welcome to the FYC Village.
Breastfeeding can be one of the most rewarding and challenging parts of motherhood. Between advice from loved ones, strangers in the supermarket, Facebook groups and the depths of Google, it’s no wonder so many myths about breastfeeding persist. But here’s the truth, your breastfeeding journey is yours alone, and it’s okay to need clarity along the way. Let’s break down some common misconceptions and replace them with facts and reassurance.
Does Breastfeeding Always Hurt? Spoiler: It Shouldn’t.
While it’s normal to feel some tenderness in the early days, persistent pain is not something you should just “push through.” Discomfort often signals issues like a poor latch or positioning. The good news? These can be corrected with the right support. If pain is part of your daily routine, it’s time to reach out to a lactation consultant who can help get things back on track. Breastfeeding is meant to bring you and your baby closer, not cause physical stress.
Motherhood is a beautiful mess of love, learning, and, let’s be honest, a fair bit of chaos. From the moment you welcome your little one into the world, you’re bombarded with advice, opinions, and expectations. And when it comes to setting boundaries and building strong connections, it can sometimes feel like you’re caught between “too much” and “not enough.”
But here’s the thing, parenting isn’t about getting it perfect—it’s about showing up with love and intention, even when the going gets tough.
