⁠ @alexiskristiana👉Learning to love my post breastfeeding boobs was hard.⁠ ⁠ We’re gifted with so much beauty as women. The beauty of creating and carrying life, then being able to nourish that life from our bodies- it’s all just so beautiful.⁠ ~⁠ But these magical things we’re able to do leave us changed. You won’t have the body you had before you became a mother, and that’s okay- because that body didn’t know sacrifice, pain and love the way your body knows now.⁠ ~⁠ One thing I struggled with was the way breastfeeding changed my breasts. I always imagined them remaining the way they were before. Before they did endless work nourishing a life.⁠ ~⁠ Zion developed a breast preference during our journey, and that left my neglected breast to dip in supply and eventually be uneven. I tried to get it back, but I just wasn’t able to. We’re still breastfeeding at 13 months will no plans of stopping yet.⁠ ~⁠ So I decided that although my breasts are unfamiliar to me right now, I know one day they won’t be. Just like one day they’ll be engorged & painful again with my next newborn- and the cycle will just start all over.⁠ ~⁠ It’s appreciating, respecting & honoring the changes our bodies go through as mama’s-over & over again. In the end don’t you think we come out even more beautiful than before?⁠"⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Alexis is wearing our Anti Scoop Bra ⁠ ⁠
