Bianca Gonzalez shares struggles of traveling with breastfed baby #thestruggleisreal

Bianca Gonzalez shares struggles of traveling with breastfed baby #thestruggleisrealBianca Gonzalez shares struggles of traveling with breastfed baby #thestruggleisreal

"Traveling with a baby is extremely challenging and totally exhausting."

Bianca Gonzalez was recently in the United States together with husband JC Intal and their 7-month-old daughter Lucia. She is determined to continue breastfeeding despite the struggles of traveling with a baby. Here are some of her #mommydiaries posts.

Strike anywhere (and everywhere)

Bianca shared that it is more convenient to feed directly than to constantly pump and wash bottles. This means that she had to breastfeed EVERYWHERE - from a fine dining restaurant to Alcatraz Island! Here they are breastfeeding on a bench in Napa Valley.

While everyone else was drinking wine in the famous wine-growing region, she lamented that she only had grape juice. Breastfeeding moms are advised to minimize their alcohol intake so Bianca chose to play it safe. She didn't totally abstain during the trip though and tried some Miraval Rose (a.k.a. Brangelina wine).

She gushed that San Francisco has awesome food but avoided shellfish. It's unclear if she did so because she is nursing.

Galactagogues are definitely part of her diet. "I bring lactation cookies and malunggay vitamins with me all the time," she wrote. It is her way of increasing her output because she's "not one of those moms with overflowing milk."

What lessons has she learned and what is her message to other breastfeeding moms?

Power through

"Vacationing as a couple with your baby teaches you cooperation, patience, powering through, and selflessness like nothing else can!"

She admits that traveling with a baby is challenging and totally exhausting but she's also excited to take her daughter on many more family trips.

We cannot wait to see Baby Lucia (alias Baby Pasyal) on more adventures and we're glad that Bianca is setting an example for other mothers who are considering traveling with their breastfed baby.

In this together

She even has a message to other breastfeeding moms: "When you are breastfeeding, #thestruggleisreal. SO real... It is really tough, but we do what we can for our babies. So to every other new mom like me trying our best to breastfeed our babies, let's give ourselves a pat on the back because it is not easy, and know you aren't alone. We are in this together."
