Naya Rivera Shares Challenges She Faced While Breastfeeding

Latina actress, Naya Rivera, is revealing all of the natural challenges of breastfeeding her baby boy Josey, whom she welcomed in September with husband Ryan Dorsey."Throughout my pregnancy, I got a lot of advice on everything from birthing to newborn care to nutrition, but no one ever really broke it down to me when it came to breast-feeding," Rivera wrote on a post for PEOPLE."Bottom line, it’s hard! Breast-feeding is like finding out that all of a sudden you can get bacon from your elbow."

She added in her blog, "Really, it’s a trip," the celeb candidly said, "one minute there’s nothing going on with your perfectly perky boobs and the next a nurse is rolling yellow stuff out of your nipple and putting it in your baby’s mouth. Things like achieving a proper latch, combating engorgement, and practicing different holds soon became my sole priorities. Our bedroom became a haven for all things breast; breast pads, shields, pumps and creams."

The new mom said it's a beautiful experience to breastfeed a child and that it wasn’t all bad though, "the bond between a mother and baby when you’re breastfeeding is incredible and something no one else shares with your baby. There’s also something amazing about the fact that you are sustaining a human life solely with your body. The benefits of breast milk for babies far outweigh the negative side effects for Mom," she added,"and at the end of the day, when Josey smiles at us, it’s all worth it."
