Shawn Johnson says mom guilt trumps parenting guilt, and makes shaming a difficult burden to bear.
Shawn Johnson is an Olympic gold medalist and one of the best-known gymnasts of our time. But all of the training in the world couldn’t have prepared the mom of 3-month-old Drew Hazel East, with husband Andrew East, for parenthood.
That unpreparedness became evident, and even more life-changing when Johnson started to struggle with breastfeeding her baby just one week into being home. “My daughter latched in the hospital and breastfed beautifully and I thought I was gonna be a breastfeeding mama forever,” she explains. “And then we got her home a week later and she just had a sit-in and didn’t wanna breastfeed ever again.”
Earlier this month, the new mom responded to some of that criticism when people began to shame her for a video where she showed off Drew’s “first flip.”
