What I wasn't told about breastfeeding:
A) it hurts like a BITCH when your milk comes in. My boobs got hard as a rock, heavy, throbbing, ugh!
B) your boobs will get on your baby's schedule.
C) when your baby sleeps through its normal feeding, that pain comes back from when you first got your milk. I just had to hand express to let some pressure off and not only did milk literally squirt out like a water gun, I soaked through two paper towels in less than a minute.
It's a wonderful experience. It really is. I'm so glad I chose to do it. The benefits are extraordinary and the bond it gives me and my baby is amazing. But holy moly.
