Quotes by Jessica Shortall

“Guilt is a response to what you think you’ve done wrong. Shame is feeling that who you are is wrong.”

“If breastfeeding is causing you terrible anxiety, ruining your performance at work, hurting your relationship with your kids or your spouse—all of these are valid factors. You are more than the milk you make, and you are in charge of your body.”
― Jessica Shortall, Work. Pump. Repeat.: The New Mom's Survival Guide to Breastfeeding and Going Back to Work

“Breastfeeding your baby is fleeting, and while it’s important to you, so is continuing to provide for your family and having a fulfilling work life.”
