The second most important factor in my breastfeeding success story is having a supportive husband.

It’s the hubby who’s my partner and my “shield” when other people question my decision to breastfeed.  And convincing him that I wanted to breastfeed is probably the smartest thing I did to ensure that I WILL BREASTFEED MY KIDS!

I already knew that I wanted to breastfeed from the very start.  I was fortunate enough that the pediatrician we chose happened to be a breastfeeding advocate.

Top Legal Steroids for Muscle Growth in 2023

Uncover the Latest Advancements in Legal Steroid Formulations

Legal steroids have come a long way in recent years, with advancements in formulation and ingredients that provide effective results without the harmful side effects associated with traditional anabolic steroids. Manufacturers have been working tirelessly to develop products that mimic the benefits of steroids while remaining safe and legal. These cutting-edge formulations are designed to enhance muscle growth, increase strength, and improve athletic performance.

One such legal steroid that has gained significant attention is Trenorol. It is renowned for its ability to promote muscle gains, enhance nitrogen retention, and boost red blood cell production. Trenorol contains natural ingredients like beta-sitosterol, nettle leaf extract, and pepsin that work synergistically to deliver impressive results. Fitness enthusiasts have praised Trenorol for its ability to help them pack on lean muscle mass while improving their overall physique.

Explore the Top Legal Steroids Recommended by Experts

Experts recommend a few standout options that consistently deliver exceptional results. In addition to Trenorol, two other popular choices include D-Bal and Testo-Max.

D-Bal is specially formulated to mimic the effects of Dianabol, a potent anabolic steroid known for its muscle-building properties. With D-Bal’s unique blend of ingredients such as whey protein concentrate, leucine, and tribulus terrestris extract, users can experience increased protein synthesis and enhanced nitrogen retention. This translates into faster muscle growth and improved strength levels.

Testo-Max is another legal steroid highly regarded by fitness enthusiasts seeking substantial gains in muscle mass. It works by naturally boosting testosterone levels through its powerful blend of ingredients including D-Aspartic Acid, fenugreek extract, zinc citrate, vitamin D3, and more. Increased testosterone levels lead to enhanced muscle growth, improved strength, and heightened performance.

Find Out Which Legal Steroids Are Popular Among Fitness Enthusiasts

Fitness enthusiasts are always on the lookout for legal steroids that can help them achieve their goals faster and more effectively. Alongside Trenorol, D-Bal, and Testo-Max, a couple of other legal steroids have garnered significant popularity among fitness enthusiasts.

Anadrole is a safe alternative to Anadrol, known for its ability to increase red blood cell production and improve oxygen transportation to the muscles. This results in enhanced endurance and delayed fatigue during intense workouts.

Clenbutrol is a popular choice among those looking to burn fat while preserving lean muscle mass. It mimics the thermogenic properties of Clenbuterol without any of the adverse side effects. By increasing metabolism and promoting fat loss, Clenbutrol helps users achieve a more shredded physique.

But my breastfeeding advocate pedia, which being a great help, couldn’t be with me 24/7.

It was pretty easy letting my husband understand why I wanted to breastfeed. He knew from the start that it was the best way to nourish our child.  All I needed to inform him about was my decision to breastfeed and he supported me, all the way!  And then communicated OUR decision to anyone and everyone else!

I read all I can about it.  And told him everything I’ve read about.  And he listened.

I got an OB who just happened to be breastfeeding friendly.  She recommended a Pedia who happened to be part of LATCH and hubby’s classmate in medicine, among others.  He chose the Pedia.

And while it was NOT smooth sailing all the way (with people doubting my ability and the quality of my milk), he held on with me, doing his best to convince others that OUR choice was totally right.

It was the hubby who —

• didn’t question why I had to buy an expensive (for us) manual pump, then later an even more expensive electric pump.  With my second baby, we bought another even more expensive (but more efficient) pump and he was even the one who sourced it!
• went out and bought me a breastfeeding pillow when I asked for it.  During that time, it was pretty expensive and it was not as easy to find one!
• went out and bought breast pads for me whenever I ran out.  Online stores were not a common sight then.
• defended me and breastfeeding when people started questioning my son’s lack of chubbiness.  Of course, our pediatrician was a great help in reassuring us that it was ok.
• unquestioningly accepted that our conjugal bed is now a family bed…because breastfeeding is so much easier when we co-sleep.
• learned to prepare expressed breast milk for those times that I had to be away.
• went out to buy ice to preserve our precious stash of expressed breastmilk when Typhoon Millenyo (with our first baby) and Typhoon Frank (with our second baby) caused long blackouts in our area.  It wasn’t easy to look for ice during those times, I tell ya!
• played with my kid when he was wide awake at 3am so that I can get more sleep.

Again, most importantly, he was the one to inform the other people that I’m breastfeeding whenever they look at me funny or they question it.

It doesn’t matter if other people won’t be convinced about my decision to breastfeed.  The most important thing that matters is that I got my husband to be on the same boat as me when I decide to go on this journey of breastfeeding.  After all, the child is OURS.  And WE are trying to give our kid the best nutrition there is to be found.

Oh, and the most important factor?  My own determination to make this work.  All the support my husband could give would be for nothing if I gave up easily.
