Tori Roloff Admits Breastfeeding Has Been the ‘Hardest Thing About Being a Mom’.
The Little People, Big World star and her husband, Zach, welcomed their first child together, son Jackson Kyle Roloff, on May 12. And in two months since the new parents brought their baby boy home, Tori has learned firsthand the struggles associated with breastfeeding.
“Hands down the hardest thing about being a mom has been breastfeeding. It was something I did not expect,” Tori admitted in an Instagram post on Saturday, which accompanied a black-and-white photo of herself breastfeeding Jackson.
“I just figured it would come naturally because it’s what nature intended-I was so wrong. Jackson and I got so frustrated with one another in the beginning and it took every ounce of me to not quit,” she wrote.
“I realized however I was being selfish. It was an inconvenience and took FOREVER but I was blessed enough to be able to BF. I was in a position that some women would die to be in and I couldn’t let that go,” she continued. “I feel for those mamas that can’t breastfeed. I get asked at all my appointments how BFing is going and I couldn’t imagine how that would make the women who physically can’t feel.”
“I also HATE the stigma of breastfeeding,” she shared. “I still feel awkward in public when I feed my baby.Why should I? I’m providing for my child. J and I have come a long way and we work well together now and I’m proud of that. There are still times that I feel overwhelmed with breastfeeding but I know I’m doing to best I can.”
