Breastfeeding Resources
Breastfeeding can be the most wonderful, rewarding experience with your newborn and infant. I think most of us go into breastfeeding with the idea that everything will work out fine because it will come "naturally" for both baby and mom.
This, however, is unfortunately often not the case! Many things can affect a positive breastfeeding experience, such as mother or baby illness, poor latch, low milk supply, mastitis, and other issues. These can make breastfeeding extremely difficult, painful, and hugely frustrating, especially when you're exhausted and emotional after giving birth.
While there are some lucky moms who breeze through breastfeeding, I have compiled some resources and articles that I hope will help the rest of you (and me!) who have challenges with breastfeeding, whatever they may be.
My hope is you will find solutions to any difficulties you may have and with the proper support (and guidance by an appropriate medical professional) you will have great success and breastfeeding will become a wonderful, enjoyable experience for you and your little one!
Just know that you are not alone, that many women have the same issues you do, and there are lots of people ready and willing to help you succeed.
