Answer

Everything about breastfeeding is hard.

Answer

No schedule at all since you feed on demand. And weaning off the breast has been and continues to be a struggle for us

Answer

Supply. Especially after going back to work and having to maintain it by pumping.

Answer

After my nipples healed, the hardest thing was being on the clock 24/7. If I left the baby at home with my husband, the clock started ticking, and rocking fast, for me to be back home. Freedom is limited!

I had a really good experience with my first born in terms of latching/supply, hoping this second time is just as smooth sailing.
The hardest part for me was being the ONLY person who could feed my baby. My (loser unemployed ex-) husband got to sleep all night long while I was in struggle city and sleep deprived.
