One day, I received a very nice message from Vanessa Lewis. I hadn't even met her at this point but the advice she had offered me was like talking to a friend!
She spoke to me about everything- from tips and other options on weaning my 20 month old due to a possible job (police academy where you stay at the facility all week) to separation tools that could help with the distance. The ways that she was able to relate the advice to her own life and family supported her advice. It was nice to hear what worked for her and her little ones.
This was advice I would have expected from a sister. When I finished reading, I realized I had tears in my eyes. She was very helpful and extremely supportive! She helped me realize it didn't matter what the perception was that society had on breast feeding- it mattered that I was providing what is best for my daughter and our family.
Since our original conversation Vanessa has followed up and asked me how things were going. She obviously cares, and that means a lot!
Thanks VL! :)
