“It goes without saying that #fedisbest,” she continued, “and I’m grateful to my body and the tremendous support I’ve had around me (especially in the beginning days and weeks when I had no clue what I was doing) for allowing me this time to nourish my sweet guy.”
While appearing on an episode of theInformed Pregnancy Podcastin March, Moore told host Dr. Elliot Berlin that she dealt with “newbie nipple soreness and had to build up my tolerance and threshold.”
“You get calluses on your nipples and then it doesn’t hurt as much,” she explained at the time, before adding that Gus is a “great feeder” and a “great sleeper.”
