Tia Mowry Instagram – Since it’s National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, I wanted to share a little bit about my breastfeeding journey with y’all. When I had Cree, I was struggling to breastfeed him. I was only able to breastfeed for 3 months before having to switch to formula. During my second pregnancy, Instagram was around and it was actually through here where I learned a lot more about breastfeeding, and also where I met a huge community of women who were all so supportive and encouraged me to continue on. And during the second time, I found that I was able to breastfeed Cairo for 13 months. Nonetheless, the journey was difficult. I was pumping every 3 hours at work while working 14 hour days on set, and at times I would have to breastfeed on set as well. And after those long days, I would return home and to breastfeed Cairo. Whenever I was traveling for work, I would pump extra milk so that she would have milk when I was away. My body was extremely fatigued and overworked, and at one point, I got mastitis which is a painful infection of the breast tissue and had to be hospitalized. But even through the long days, and the hospitalization, I still didn’t give up. I continued to breastfeed through the pain, and pushed through. If this isn’t enough to show you how badass moms can be- then I don’t know what else to tell you! And if you are struggling with breastfeeding, I want you to know that it is more than okay to feed your children formula. As long as your children are fed, loved, happy, and supported that’s all that matters. Sending my love and support all you superhero moms out there 🫶🏽You got this!
