National Breastfeeding Awareness Month is meant to empower mothers in their feeding experiences and not to criticize or critique their backgrounds or circumstances. Breastfeeding is known to have both positive and negative effects on mothers and children, reminding ourselves that formula feeding isn’t failing and it’s okay if your expectations for breastfeeding don’t align with your experiences.
