Some things don’t always go as planned. I had an emergency c-section due to complications. Even under these traumatic circumstances, I made sure the midwives respected my wishes. My baby was given to me as soon as they could, and although he was sleepy we still managed to have a beautiful first feed. A few midwives came in and tried to show me their ways trying to forcefully shove my baby to my breast. I politely asked them to back off. It was empowering knowing how to advocate for myself. It has been the most peaceful, joyful and pain-free breastfeeding experience this first week. I couldn't have done it without the knowledge I gained from Dr Robyn. Forever grateful.
