what is breastfeeding

a successful breastfeeding journey to me,first and foremost, is that i would have tried it. that i would have made the attempt andreally give it a try. for me, it was like definitely try it for three months,aggressively, no matter what, and if it's working, then for six, then for a year. my personal goal is tobreastfeed for the first year of her life because, from everything that i've read, that seems to be the most beneficial. breastfeeding is part nature, part nuture. you've gotta go in mentally knowing that you can do this and you can be okand that if you have to like try things a few times and figure out what works, you know, different positions, that that's ok and

it doesn't make you a failure. some women have a naturally easier timethan others and some babies do, too, but i don't think that that necessarily is the endgame. any amount that anyone can do is fantastic and a success.
