Breastfeeding kinda sucks

Amanda
Sorry mamas, I just need to vent. My 2nd child was born on March 20th, and while I do plan to breastfeed as long as possible (went 18 months with my first), I was really hoping it would be easier this time around and it's not so I am feeling really sorry for myself. 😭 I think I have PTSD from my daughter from our feeding issues, and the same problems (tongue tie and lip tie) are rearing their ugly heads once again. I am in so much pain and I dread every single feed so much. I cry constantly and feel like a failure. It just doesn't seem fair, which I know is a really selfish thing to say when we could have much bigger problems. I am just not coping well with the exhaustion, frustration, and pain. Thanks for letting me vent.
