Breastfeeding is Hard

Breastfeeding is a huge debate in today's society. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of the truth on what breastfeeding really takes. We need to be more supportive and less judgmental when it comes to infant nutrition.

Adventures in Breastfeeding...

There is no doubt about it; breastfeeding is hard.
The first few days after Duncan was born, there was no way we could get him to nurse. He just did not want to latch at all. And the poor boy was so hungry, that he'd get all worked up screaming, swallow a pile of air, them vomit up any food we did get into him. Needless to say his weight quickly dropped from 8llbs, to 7lbs, 4oz.

Unbreastfeeding

After a harrowing and near death-related pregnancy (just go with it), who knew breastfeeding would be the real dilemma. It took me about six and a half months (when I began showing) to admit that I was pregnant, and then it was "Of course I'm going to breastfeed."

I'm too obstinate to give up

With less than a week to go before I bring our second child out into the harsh light of day I'm thinking about Breastfeeding and not really looking forward to how hard it's going to be.

Like she said.

Yes, breastfeeding is hard. It hurts, and no one warns you-until now. Kudos to a mom who tells it like it is. I had issues when my baby started to nurse-and I remember feeling so very alone. Posts like this one help to remind me that I'm not. And that it IS hard for the majority of moms-they just don't say it.
