Last July, my husband and I were dreading the 7,000 mile flight with our 17-month-old son from Hong Kong to Seattle. It wasn’t the flight itself we were dreading (although flying with an active toddler is never a treat), it was what lay ahead of us once we arrived in the US.

If you will be working outside the home in a situation where it’s not appropriate to take your baby along, continuing to breastfeed may seem like a daunting task.

I am going to be very honest here and describe my first couple of years of parenthood as “hell on earth”. Using those words makes me feel pretty sad, but they accurately sum up my memories of that time. ​With hindsight, I now know that I was suffering from undiagnosed post-natal depression, which could have easily been prevented with the right support.

We just came home from my son’s minor surgery under anaesthesia. I feel thankful that I am still nursing my little boy, who is two years and eight months old.

​When he was disorientated waking up from the anaesthesia, he was calmed down and comforted immediately as he latched on.
