My journey started off pretty rough. I could not get my baby to latch. My nipples were swollen cracked and bloody. I had to exclusively pump. My milk didn’t come in until 10 days postpartum (normal is 3-5 days) which was also a struggle mentally and physically trying to figure out why I wasn’t producing but also dealing with the pain

Breastfeeding is rough especially those first few weeks Postpartum.
Those early weeks sound so physically and mentally exhausting! Waiting 10 days while pushing through that level of pain shows how incredibly tough you are. Hugs mama
I completely understand, they don’t warn you about the pain
