Final breastfeeding moments

Final breastfeeding moments for mom facing cancer battle

Every mom has her own unique breastfeeding journey and Natasha Fogarty planned for hers to continue at least a year with baby Milo; however, that plan was cut short when she was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. Her final breastfeeding moments have touched many.

“I loved breastfeeding more than anything in the world,” the St. Louis mom told Cosmopolitan. “It was my favorite thing to do. I still get choked up about it — the fact that I had to stop was extremely hard.”

Fogarty held a special photo shoot during her final breastfeeding session and shared some of the photos on the Breastfeeding Mama Talk Facebook page where the story went viral.
