A nursing mother’s greatest fear is if there will be enough for their newborn, whether they will be able to complete the journey successfully without lacking.

First time mothers are probably the most worried, being their first experience, they can only get to hear from older mothers what it was like, the journey and how to overcome any obstacles that come their way.

Not just that, the scare of feeding her baby in the public space was an all time hustle for her.

From personal experience, breastfeeding in public can be a task ????????‍♀️????????‍♀️ Wueh!!

Luckily, it has been an year plus since her journey began and she remains grateful that she was able to exclusively feed her baby boy on breast milk both in public and privately.

I’ve been lucky enough to have exclusively breastfed my little one for over a year now but one thing I was super scared about was not having enough milk or my milk drying out! Even though I had enough supply, I was still paranoid and it never hurts to just be prepared.
