From Katlin Luscombe on Facebook

The lovely Katlin Luscombe with her son Flynn (1) she is also currently 6 weeks pregnant with baby number two! Katlin had a very healthy pregnancy save some morning sickness early on but didn't have any difficulty. Her labor was only 13 hours for start to finish, she was checked as labor started and hand't quite progressed, they instructed her to come back in a couple days when labor picked up. Later that afternoon she checked into the birth center and Flynn was born naturally 30 minutes later without any intervention. Katlin is very natural minded and had every expectation of breastfeeding but at 2 weeks made the switch to formula. She was in a lot of pain and Flynn lost a full pound in less than a week. He was also suffering from severe reflux and colic. She says she felt like a failure and was embarrassed to feed her son in public for a long time for fear of scrutiny. It is something that has been very difficult for her. While she hopes to successfully breastfeed her second baby she is grateful that switching to formula for Flynn has helped him be the healthy, happy toddler he is today.  ‪#‎fedisbest‬
