Husband snaps ‘unflattering’ photo of wife asleep breastfeeding twins that makes headlines
There are small moments that make us remember how wonderful a mother’s love is. If we’re telling the truth, those little snapshots are NEVER pretty, but BOY is awesome. It is in those dirty, raw, weary moments that the strength of a mother shines through. For Amy Griffith, that realization came when her husband snapped a pretty picture.
Amy Griffith is the mother of twins and recently went viral because of the photo her husband took.
“‘So, I’ve got some news…There are two babies in there.’ It was just my daughter and I in the room. I only came in for a routine ultrasound to find out how many weeks we were. After my brain processed the words, I thought to myself, ‘My husband is going to flip!’ Then, all the ‘How in the world is this going to work?!’ thoughts began to flood my brain.” – Inspire More
For Griffith, it was the hardest moments of her life.
Baby A was born through traditional vaginal birth, but Baby B was being quite a bit more stubborn. A c-section was eventually required, essentially forcing Griffith to go through two separate types of birth back to back. While the birth was over, there was still a lot more to go.
When you have twins, your body has to work twice as hard to feed them!
The math is easy – double the milk! The human body is truly amazing and Griffith is recovering from caesarean section and delivery, PLUS makes twice as much milk. Her body is working overtime. For the first few weeks, she was completely exhausted beyond words.
Other times, I feel exhausted. I’ve given a lot to myself, but I’m 1,000% committed. I would endure long nights, bouts of mastitis, and sacrifice what I felt was necessary for myself. Exhaustion doesn’t even describe how I felt during those first few months. – More inspirational
It was in one of these “sessions” that her husband snapped the photo.
She explains that she was “sneaking a nap”, and nobody blames her!
As a mother of twins, things can be doubly difficult. Twice as many diapers have to be changed, twice as many feedings – all in all, it can be quite overwhelming!
It was in one of these “sessions” that her husband snapped the photo.
Completely unfiltered and honestly, we see Griffith sitting up straight, breastfeeding… but she’s out! She was doing motherly things and was so tired that she fell asleep while nursing her young boys.
Any mom knows that ANY nap opportunity is worth taking. Even if it’s only a few minutes, you go for it! The photo was so popular that Griffith decided to start her own support group for other moms of twins!
This “sleepy” post has received so much love and been shared worldwide! I’m beyond grateful 💞 Inspired by the questions I received, I’ve created a twin membership program for personalized support/community for mamas pregnant with twins, breastfeeding twins and those first few years of twin-mom-life 😅 – Instagram
Even though it’s hard, every mama knows that it’s ALWAYS worth it. With twins, it’s twice as hard but twice as rewarding!
