Before DD, I always knew I wanted to give BF ago. My mum was not able to BF me nor my brother and my brothers ex was not able to BF my niece or nephew. I saw the difficulties that my brothers ex had and so went into my BF journey with an open mind. However I knew I wanted to feed for atleast 12months.

Now that DD is here, I still want to BF till atleast 12months, however, I have alot of difficulties to get over. I have been exclusively BF now for 10wks4days. I have had a painful start and continue to have a very sore nipple, I am constantly concerned about supply and if my DD is getting enough.
I have an amazing support network and could not keep going if it was not for my DF, family and friends. I knew BF is not easy for everyone, but I never imagined it would be this hard. I will keep feeding as long as DD wants it.
