Breastfeeding advice! Please read first ❤️

I am a first time mom and I’m really set on breastfeeding my baby once she’s here - in March. However, I know it may not be possible for whatever reason and that’s okay! I was recently telling my mother in law my plans for breastfeeding and she hit me with all these negative comments, sort of scaring me to not do it honestly. I’m not sure what her intentions were. She told me how it’s so painful, how she bled all the time when feeding, etc. I know these are real possibilities but I’d like to hear some positive experiences, words of encouragement, and maybe some advice on how I can make breastfeeding a little easier on me if that’s possible. Thank you in advance! ❤️

I posted this in the breastfeeding group as well but I know not everyone is in the same groups, just looking for more voices!
