AlexiskristianaMoving back to New York after three years in the Dallas suburbs has brought so many parts of myself full circle. I talk a lot about what returning to this city has given me community, movement, connection, and pieces of myself I felt like I had lost. But New York is also where my motherhood story began… I became a first-time mom here, I breastfed for the first time here. And while my final breastfeeding journey ended in Texas, coming back to NYC with that chapter completely closed, has made me reflect on just how much life happened between the woman who first became a mother here and the woman I am now. This one was emotional to make…. I started sharing motherhood online around 2019/2020, when COVID took away so much of the physical community new moms normally have. In return, so many of us found each other online and that community became the beginning of my journey as a creator. So for World Breastfeeding Month, I wanted to honor that chapter and every version of me that existed inside of it. And to the mama currently in hers: whether you breastfed for one day, one week, one year, exclusively nursed, pumped, combo fed, or your journey looked nothing like you planned… I hope you know how much you’re doing. Pulling these old memories brought me right back to what those moments felt like. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for mothers in the middle of their feeding journeys. Happy World Breastfeeding Week, from a mama on the other side of it🤍 Cake @Thea's Treat 🩷 #nycmom #motherhoodunited #breastfeedingjourney #breastfeedingmom #postpartumjourney
