Moms share their highs and lows for World Breastfeeding Week. - TODAYshow
Jen Saxton, CEO and founder of Tot Squad, overflowed a bottle the first time she pumped. “The nurses at the hospital said I had enough milk to feed the whole world!”. “I remember at Mommy and Me class how everybody would describe their beautiful baby staring into their eyes while breastfeeding, and Charlotte was literally choking with my fast letdown.”
Though breastfeeding is “all consuming” and the LA.-based mom loathes pumping, she is proud of what her body can do. “I love that we can go anywhere and forget everything and as long as we have each other, we’re good to go,” Saxton, 36, said.While Saxton has an overabundance of milk, Colleen Kurson had the opposite problem. When Kurson’s first child was born in 2012, she struggled with production despite pumping between feeds.
“I hated that my body wasn’t doing what I was thought it was ‘supposed’ to do,” the licensed mental health counselor told TODAY Parents. Things got easier when Kurson began supplementing with formula and her baby began gaining weight. “I saw it as vital to my newborn’s health and and was glad to take some of the pressure off,” she explained.
