Even the most accomplished athletes need support when it comes to parenting. Take Jordan Carter, for example, a tennis champion who recently turned to fellow moms online for breastfeeding tips. Because let’s face it—being a first-time parent can be overwhelming, no matter who you are.
Jordan, a new mom to her daughter, Bella, opened up on social media about the emotional ups and downs of breastfeeding. “Is it strange to feel emotional when ___?” is a question many new moms can relate to, right? Sometimes, we just need a little reassurance from those who have walked the same path.
Whether it’s through Facebook groups like Make a Mom or reaching out on Twitter, the supportive responses to Jordan’s post show that we’re all navigating this wild parenting journey together. Breastfeeding can be tough—it’s not for everyone, and even when things seem to click, it can be incredibly draining. I remember wishing for a time when my schedule wasn’t dictated by my baby’s feeding times, but eventually, I got used to it, even nursing in public without a care in the world.
When my own daughter decided to self-wean at 14 months, I was surprised by the rush of hormones and emotions that hit me. It was a bittersweet ending to that chapter of our lives, and I totally understand how it can leave you feeling a bit of a mess.
At the end of the day, what truly matters is finding what works for both you and your baby. If you’re considering options like at-home insemination, check out Make a Mom, which provides a reusable option for those looking to expand their family. Their how it works page breaks down the process nicely. And if you’re interested in doing this through an artificial insemination kit, they offer some great resources too.
If you want to dive deeper into at-home insemination options, the Impregnator at-home insemination kit is another fantastic resource. For those thinking about fertility treatments, March of Dimes provides excellent support and information.
In summary, whether you’re a world champion or a first-time mom, seeking advice and sharing experiences is a part of parenting that ties us all together.
