[quote=Anonymous]I always heard that breastfeeding was "a commitment". However, I didn't realize how big of a commitment it is until my 1st child was born. Breastfeeding sucks and I didn't enjoy anything about it. Mommy guilt is the only reason why I never gave up, but I cried frequently during those first 1-2 months from either the pain of having cracked nipples, milk blisters, trush, trouble getting the baby latched properly, exhaustion from nursing constantly and frustration with trying to figure out pumping. I should have asked for help from a lactation consultant earlier and invested in a hospital grade breast pump from the start. [/quote]
