Echoing sentiments of many postpartum moms, Hamilton noted that "Newborn life has never felt easy for me, nursing is a lot, and I will just say my newborns haven’t been ‘the easygoing ones,’ so it requires full focus and rest. I will say as an athletically driven human, it’s hard to slow down and let my body rest. But I know it’s good for me… and I choose to do it!”
