Breast feeding looks so easy, so natural. Well for me it was the hardest thing I have ever had to learn. Not only is it hard to learn, but it hurt really bad too. Lily wasn't able to latch on properly because her mouth was so tiny. I was also not producing enough milk, so Lily would feed for about 5 minutes on each side at a time. She wanted to "snack" every 2 hours. It was really hard. I felt like I was breastfeeding all the time. After a while of letting her snack, I would have to pump every three hours for 15 minutes on both sides to increase my milk production. SO I was nursing every 2 hours and pumping every three hours. Pretty crazy.
Its funny that when you are pregnant you feel like a cow and when you have a baby, you are being milked like one. Ha Ha.
