In honor of National Breastfeeding Week in 2021, Mandy posted<\/a> on Instagram with a caption about her journey feeding Gus. “Breastfeeding is not always smooth sailing (clogged ducts, timing life around feedings, pumping for when I’m at work, etc\u2026), but nursing this baby boy for the past nearly six months has been a beautiful, messy, and an oh so rewarding experience I will treasure forever. It goes without saying that #fedisbest and I’m grateful to my body and the tremendous support I’ve had around me (especially in the beginning days and weeks when I had no clue what I was doing) for allowing me this time to nourish my sweet guy.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
