The roots of this project go back to my first baby, who I exclusively pumped for for 15 months. While he wouldn&#8217;t\/couldn&#8217;t latch and transfer well, it was important to me that he still had breastmilk as I was able to provide it. But when people asked if I was breastfeeding I would sort of freeze- I didn&#8217;t really know how to answer, and it always was a little taboo to talk about pumping- let alone take pictures of it! While at the time the act may have seemed beautiful to me it certainly didn&#8217;t seem physically so, not until later after the fact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I have been able to breastfeed my second baby, we had some of the same struggles and still pumped in the beginning, used a nipple shield, and as a plus size woman we were (and are really) most comfortable nursing in football hold or with a pillow. Sometimes those things seemed daunting enough but- again, no one was talking about it. I struggled nursing in public in the beginning because I really didn&#8217;t see anyone else doing it the way I was, and was frustrated at the lack of photos and discussion about the things I felt represented ME. When I would ask in a Facebook group I would hear that yes, others had the same struggles and also used a pillow in public. But why weren&#8217;t we talking about it more, why weren&#8217;t we sharing photos of it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so this project was born. I worked with some amazing women to photograph them and their babies achieve the photos and videos you&#8217;ll see here. Everyone has a different story, but they are all valid and beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I invite you to read through the stories below. At the bottom you&#8217;ll find an instagram feed of the #ThisIsHowIBF hashtag. This is for you to join in! Share photos of your nursing relationship, whatever that may look like on instagram with that hashtag for everyone following along. If you have ever had the thought &#8220;I wonder how other people do this&#8221;, well here&#8217;s your chance, be the first to share and others will follow! If you don&#8217;t have instagram you can also join in on the Facebook discussion, find the post with this video on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/carissalynphoto (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/carissalynphotos\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/facebook.com\/carissalynphotos<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"817\" src=\"https:\/\/carissalyn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/amanda_breastfeeding_photos-1024x817.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carissalyn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/amanda_breastfeeding_photos-1024x817.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carissalyn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/amanda_breastfeeding_photos-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carissalyn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/amanda_breastfeeding_photos-600x479.jpg 600w, https:\/\/carissalyn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/amanda_breastfeeding_photos-768x612.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carissalyn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/amanda_breastfeeding_photos-50x40.jpg 50w, https:\/\/carissalyn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/amanda_breastfeeding_photos.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Amanda and her fourth baby, Willa.
