Nursing a 3-month-old Mishca while waiting for our turn at the pediatrician's office
When I became pregnant, I knew I wanted to breastfeed my baby. It was the most logical thing to do. Except that I didn’t know if I could hack it. To encourage myself, I bought plenty of nursing tops and dresses from Mommy Matters! They were on sale that time and it cost just P250 for one dress! Later on I also bought from Mamaway, Blissful Babes and other imported brands. I figured that because I had already spent a considerable amount on nursing clothes, there was no turning back!
Instead of wearing maternity dresses, which made me feel frumpy, I started wearing nursing clothes during my last month of pregnancy. When my daughter came out, I was able to breastfeed her, despite the initial pain, thanks to Mishca’s pediatrician, nurse Rubi and dad’s support. We’ve been happily nursing for almost 2 years now.
