Bonding is at the core of raising our children AND ourselves. Parenthood does not mean making easy choices but facing our unique history that often bares baggage we have tried to long forget. It smacks us in the face and we must create healthy boundaries so we can have a positive experience with our newborn. Kudos to all woman making the most difficult decision to breastfeed and to not, they’re equally stressful.

When got pregnant, it had been after many years of feeling disconnected from her body, for a number of reasons. After diagnosing and treating stage 4 endometriosis, she had been looking forward to a stretch of her life where her body felt like her own again—until pregnancy derailed that.

Once she had Scottie, her daughter with , Hewitt had to decide how she would feed her baby. She weighed her mental health, her recovery, and the kind of mother she wanted to be. In the end, she decided against breastfeeding. “My thought process was layered,” she writes for ELLE. “The most important thing to me was doing what is best for my baby. I will always do what is best for her.”

Now a few months into motherhood, Hewitt opens up about the contradictions, complex guilt, and learning to accept support in a culture that quietly equates suffering with devotion. Read her essay at the link in comments.
