Why Did I Write a Book About Breastfeeding?
A couple of years ago, I had what you may call a “premonition,” to write this book: What to write, the sections, the title, what the book cover would look like – everything came to me very vividly. But I sat on it and didn’t do anything. More recently, I started to do some self-reflection and in the midst of it, the idea of the book came to me again. I thought, “This must be a sign. I cannot let it go away this time; I HAVE to write this book!” I started thinking about all the women out there who I could help with my insight and experience, so I just sat down and started typing.
I decided early on, even before pregnancy, that I was going to breastfeed my babies. Once I got pregnant, I worked on creating the mindset that I would be successful at it, by reading everything I could get my hands on about it. I really have to say that, overall, I had a great breastfeeding experience with both of my babies that I will cherish forever and I chalk much of my success up to my preparation and mindset. This is what I want to pass on to you on this book, so you too can have an amazing breastfeeding experience that you will cherish forever!
