Jeannie Mai Says Breastfeeding Has Been Harder Than Giving Birth

Jeannie Mai has updated her Instagram following on her journey of being a mother. In a recent post, Mai has revealed the struggle it has been to breastfeed.

“Been tackling this breastfeeding thing for two months. Listening to a lactation nurse, reading advise online, and getting so much help from other moms. Hands down, it’s been the most difficult part of this entire mom journey. I already HEARD it was gonna be, but I never imagined this. For me, it’s was even more difficult than giving birth”

The newborn is a girl, according to Jeannie Mai-Jenkins, 43. Earlier this month, the host gave birth to her first child with Jeezy. She talked on being a “girl mom,” saying it’s the aspect of her life that she’s still “overwhelmed” with.

The television host gushed with emotion. “There’s just so many reasons why raising a little girl is such an honor to me. I would have been happy with anything, but to have Monaco, I can’t tell you, I feel chosen,” she revealed in the video. “It’s emotional, and I can’t wait to raise a really strong, loving, empathetic, humorous, fashionable, fly, little girl.”

The new mom just recently opened up about experiencing postpartum sharing a message to her Instagram followers. The healing mom admits she sometimes can’t control her crying due to hormonal changes.
