Breastfeeding is harder than I thought it would be! I had no idea. It didn’t occur to me to prepare for breastfeeding by taking classes and reading books.
I assumed it would happen without any effort on my side. All I knew was breastfeeding is natural and I wanted to nurse my baby. I knew it was best for my baby.

I didn’t know you had to teach your baby how to latch. I didn’t even know what latching was. But not all babies know to open their mouths wide enough to latch onto the nipple.
