How to Win Over Breastfeeding Challenges + A Giveaway!

Today, my little boy R turns 21 months. And I'm proud to say we are still breastfeeding! Yay! Though R already takes fresh milk during the day, he still nurses from me during nap time and at night since we co-sleep.
I love it when my R wants to nurse from me. And I intend to continue breastfeeding him until he wants to. Our breastfeeding wasn't as smooth sailing as it looks.

Breastfeeding was a big challenge especially during the first time. I had my fair share of challenges when Y was born, the first day I went back to work after my maternity leave, my family and even with some of friends. But I surpassed them all because of the support I got from my husband and "breastfriends".
Y when she's three months old!
Last year, author Teresa Gumap-as-Dumadag a[[roached me to share my breastfeeding story. I took this opportunity so that I can share my experience can reach more people. And I'm happy that I did.
I'm on page 186!
This is the first breastfeeding book by a Filipino author.  What I love about the book is it tells breastfeeding success stories of different moms from all walks of life.  When I shared my story, I was still working full time, when the book was launched, I was and still am an awesome mompreneur! :) Heehee!
Teresa Gumap-as Dumadag, the author

I wanted to have this book, Breastfeeding: A Journey Worth Taking, because this will be a great help for me in the challenges of breastfeeding. I always wanted to breastfeed our baby boy as long as my baby wants as I plan to be a stay in mompreneur :)

    I have been breastfeeding my daughter for 7 difficult months. Ive supplemented starting at 4 days. We've tried everything to increase my supply. She is going in for a tongue and lip tie cut in a couple of weeks. Eventhough it has been a challenge i am determined not to quit. I just say " im not quitting today!"

    Im a breastfeeding mom of over a month old baby. Definitely not a smooth journey but I wish to breastfeed as long as we can. I heard there are inspiring stories in this book. Hope this book will help me in this journey as we are taking it one day at a time.

    I have a daughter who I breastfed for more than year. It was not a smooth sailing experience but definitely a journey worth taking. We are planning to have another child and I am hoping that this book will help me to sustain breastfeeding longer.

    I'm a breastfeeding mom with my 2 months old baby. I believe the book is the best for us moms and I want to get one for awareness purposes especially in breastfeeding. Also plan to share this to my sister after using it.
