@haslberry, thank you sm. I’m trying to hang in there it’s only been a week but from the severe engorgement to crazy cluster feeding to the current nipple trauma I’m trying to see the light in it all
It sucked for me for about 6 weeks but then it got easier and I breastfed my son til 16 months but in the beginning it took everything for me to not give up but I’m so glad I didn’t!
In my experience, the beginning was pretty tough. Once we got our rhythm, the pain subsided, and my supply started to regulate, it was great! No making or washing bottles, and I always had an excuse to relax with the baby.
Breastfeeding has the potential to be rewarding for the both of you, but it does take a bit to get there. Good luck, Momma.
