I'm not gonna lie; breastfeeding was a nightmare for me, especially in the beginning. Latching issues had me in tears many a time. It felt like an uphill battle, but I persevered because I wanted to breastfeed successfully. Turns out, the struggles were worth it, and I eventually overcame them. My advice? Seek help early if you're struggling; there's no shame in it! Get support from nurses, lactation consultants, or experienced mamas. Don't wait until you're overwhelmed; it's easier to fix issues when they arise rather than letting them escalate.
Now, my little one is past the baby stage, and we're tackling weaning. It's a whole new challenge - deciding on the right foods to introduce and ensuring she doesn't end up as a fussy eater. It's a whole new world of worries, but I'm determined to raise a healthy little foodie!
