“Juju & Aunt Nessa,” the actress alongside a photo of Hudgens cradling Jupiter in her arms.
Alongside another photo of the pair spending time together, Tisdale noted that just like her mama, Jupiter is a big fan of thePrincess Switchstar. “Literally Jupiter opened her arms like hold me the minute she met Ness,” Tisdale wrote. “Warmed my heart.”
Sharing one of the photos on her own Instagram page, Hudgens raved about meeting Tisdale’s newborn. “I melt over this angel,” she wrote.
“You see your friends who are new moms feeding their babies make it look so easy. But no one tells you how hard it really is,” she wrote on her wellness page. “I think there’s this pressure around the subject of breastfeeding and that those who do it are the best moms, but that’s not true. Our journey started on day one in the hospital when Jupiter was having trouble latching.”
“That was the moment I realized that maybe breastfeeding isn’t meant for us,” she said, adding that she “pumped all day, and never looked forward to pumping. I would look at the pump like it held me back from really being in the moment with Juju and enjoying my first weeks of motherhood. At that point, I turned to my husband and said ‘I feel like we’re striving and not thriving with this breast milk situation.’ "
“I was determined to make it work, but all I truly cared about was Jupiter having a good experience with feeding and getting the best nutrition,” said Tisdale. She explained that’s when they turned to formula as their best option.
