To all the mommies thinking about breastfeeding their babies and the mommies who are still trying:
DONT GIVE UP!!! It's gonna be easy sometimes, and others it's gonna be stressful and painful. But stick to it!! You are providing the nutrients your baby needs to grow big and strong! You can do this! If you can give birth to a baby, deal with the pain of contractions and pushing, you can deal with the minor pains of breastfeeding!
I'm exhausted, I've slept a total of 3.5 hours last night, I've got dark circles around my eyes, my hair is a mess, and my nipples are sore... But! It's 100% beyond worth it because I get to share in moments like this! He nursed for 45 minutes and is out like a light.
(PS. IM NOT SHAMMING THOSE WHO BOTTLE FEED OR FORMULA FEED. To each their own, I'm just sharing some words of encouragement to those considering or trying.)

I hope I can stick with it. I'm pretty nervous about it. Like getting enough milk and dealing with the pain and more feeding rather then formula. But hopefully I can do it!
