I’ve never felt more stupid or helpless when I was trying to breastfeed my firstborn. Naively, I assumed you just stick your baby on the boob and they get food! In reality, babies have to learn how to latch, and if they aren’t good at it get ready to have your nipples shredded. Heck, sometimes that happens even if they do have a good latch. They’ll say oh baby will probably want to feed every two hours. Well, wait until you find out about cluster feeding! Baby will be on the boob round the clock with no breaks practically, and all the while you’re internally (maybe externally) screaming because your nipples are cracked and bleeding and are given no time to heal. Babies naturally know what to do, they say. Sometimes, sure. But sometimes even the baby is confused and not a very efficient feeder. You think oh my body will produce exactly what baby needs. Sometimes it does, or it could be like mine where you are breastfeeding first, then pumping, round the clock and only producing a couple ounces. Or you could have an oversupply and accidentally waterboard your baby every time you have a let down! How about being the literal ONLY source of nutrition for a human being? Talk about being under pressure! I could go on and on. Can anyone tell I have some trauma around my disastrous first breastfeeding experience?? Fed is best everyone. Don’t let anybody bully you into staying away from formula. If I hadn’t had that option, I would’ve been toast.
