I’m officially four weeks into my breastfeeding journey with my second baby. I can’t say I forgot how hard it is, but I did somewhat underestimate what it would be like the second time around. I think what got me, was everything seemed like it was going so perfectly, but due to jaundice my son has been an insufficient nurser. I’ve been fortunate with not having supply issues so I haven’t had to supplement with formula (not that there is anything wrong with that), but doing triple feeds and pumping has been totally exhausting. I’ve been so anxious around if he’s getting enough to eat and if I’m supplying enough. I’m pretty sure I’m struggling with some postpartum anxiety. But I’m pushing through because I want this. I want to breastfeed my son for a year. I just needed to get it out of my system because, right now, it’s hard, but I know it will be worth it in the end.
