I plan on breastfeeding and I pray that I can breastfeed

Stick with it! Its exhausting but it's so worth it and just go into it knowing you won't give up but at the end of the day a fed baby is a happy baby!

If they have a lactation consultant at the hospital definitely try to meet with them. Also kellymom.com is a great site for info and I found YouTube helpful.

Breastfeeding HURTS so bad for the first week or so but power through it if you can it gets better I swear

Invest in a nipple shield. Nurse as much as baby wants and try not to stress drink lots of water.

Best piece of advice ever heard was don’t quit on a bad day. Quit when you want on a good day. Oh and drink a lot of water

It can be hard just remember to push through and drink lots of water and make sure you’re feeding or pumping every 2-3 hours

Stick. With. It... I wish I was told this before hand: breast feeding is HARD it looks LOOKS natural like it would just happen but it’s not like that at all, both you and your baby have to work at it hard... Being a new mom it’s hard to eat and drink water but it’s super important you do both (my advice is to go ahead and stock up on oatmeal - the instant kind that goes in the microwave for 1:30 worked WONDERS for my breast milk supply) and some woman won’t get their breast milk for up to 13 days but you have to fight every single day for it

The first few weeks are terrible!!! Not going to sugar coat it but I promise it does get better!! Stay positive !!
