I really wish I knew that those first 6 weeks of breastfeeding are crucial to making it any further.. with my first two I always gave up so soon cause it was so painful and I just thought that was normal and probably why moms gave up… with my third I learned that if you can make it through those first weeks of painful let downs engorgement and leaking it gets SOOOOOmuch better. 7 months now going strong and no more pain involved with breastfeeding. I wish someone had gave me this advice earlier on in my journies 
I’m so glad I know now!

Wow!! 7 months. That’s incredible!! Congrats to you. What an enormous accomplishment!! Congrats mom 
7 months is amazing, congratulations! 
Those first 6 weeks are definitely the hardest hurdle, and it’s so true how much smoother it gets once you win the battle against the initial pain and engorgement. 
Just found out I’m pregnant stop so we’ll see how long I can continue!! So far almost two months pregnant AND breastfeeding

Yes!! The first few weeks were so painful for my first journey. My second I knew about hydrogel pads and silver nursing cups which helps tremendously!
Congratulations on 7 months!! That’s incredible!!

Wow 7 months! Good job mama! I wish they educated mamas more. It’s so hard when you are first learning. Having a correct latch and knowing what to expect makes a huge difference

If it starts to dip you can power pump or cluster pump to help your supply
What is cluster pumping? I know about power pumping never heard of cluster?
