Mom shares how she was not prepared for this part of motherhood
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp
Every day is a learning experience...
Being a mother comes with a host of challenges. Some you are prepared for, others not so much.
But regardless of the challenge, we have come to learn that each mother may experience things differently, but for the most part, it somehow helps knowing you're not alone.
One mom was open and honest about what she found challenging.
Mom of twins and make-up artist Sarah shared a TikTok on the difficulties that she was somewhat prepared for.
She begins the video showing how she preps her babies for a feed.
And goes on to share all the things they said would be difficult. Yes, because being a mother is one of the most challenging jobs you will ever have as a woman.

But WATCH as she reveals that nothing and no one quite told her how difficult it would be to stop breastfeeding.
There is a certain bond that develops with every mother and her child, but breastfeeding is very much a mental action that is connected to a mother's physicality.
And so, when that time comes and you need to stop, it's just as trying on you as a mother as it is on your babies.
