As a new mom, the first thing you look forward to is seeing your little one’s face. Well, after that follows a whole lot of responsibilities, breastfeeding topping the list. No matter how much we read up, listen or hear, when it comes to feeding our newborn for the first time, we either get too overwhelmed or things just don’t pan out the way we thought it would.
This was precisely what happened to this mom too. Artist Joy Hwang describes her struggles with mommyhood and breastfeeding with this witty line:
“One of the hardest assignments I received as a new mom was to keep my baby alive with my boobs!”
Like most other moms, she too thought it would come to her naturally, but then she realised was wrong. After helplessly crying alongside her daughter she took art to her advantage and put pencil to paper, creating surreal depictions of her testing times. “It helped me to connect with my baby through the only way I knew how,” said Hwang, who posts her art on her Mom Is Drawing account on Facebook and Instagram.
