I have been BF for almost 4.5 years straight (with a little break between my first and second LO when my son weaned). Now I'm tandem nursing my second and third child. I remember how tough and embarrassing BF was initially. My son needed a SNS tube, he was extremely fussy on the breast, painful and cracked nipples, and my inexperience made things seem so much harder. I hated having to feed him in public because we would both get so frustrated. And I didn't understand that babies eat when they need to - not on a schedule, so I was always stressed that he wasn't getting enough. Luckily we found a groove eventually and things got easier.
But fast forward to this past Sunday I took my 2yo and 4yo to the public pool, and afterwards was helping them shower and change while simultaneously BF my 2 week old in the stretchy wrap. So easy, so simple, and not a hint of a fussy baby when he has full access to the boob! BF FTW!
Just wanted to put that out there for all the frustrated mamas - it gets easier!
