Did the reality of breastfeeding and the postpartum period match your expectations? I don’t know very many people who can say that this was true for them. Lex Beach shares her entry into motherhood by becoming pregnant with twins, and learning to breastfeed them despite facing a lot of difficulty and not feeling very sure of herself for many months. Lex is a mom of 7 children, so next week we will hear part 2 of her story where she discusses how she changed and evolved as a parent and a breastfeeding mom.
On this episode you will hear:

• Lex’s obsession with babies from the time she was a child
• The impact of parents who came before her
• How Lex’s goals changed over time
• When breastfeeding became more manageable for Lex
