How is everyone finding breastfeeding?

Hard! So overwhelming and so much harder than I ever imagined. I dread nights and my partner has struggled with lack of sleep so I haven’t had as much support! I’m so determined I see it through but I’ve nearly thrown in the towel recently a week in. For the most natural thing in the world it hasn’t come natural ha x
This is my second and I breastfed my first for 11 months so I knew what it was like. Breastfeeding at the beginning is really hard. I don't think people appreciate it. It definitely does not come naturally. But it does get easier I promise. And if it is not for you, yiu should not feel guilty either
It is hard but it’s really helpful to get support. I found La Leche League great. https://laleche.org.uk/find-lll-support-group/
The nights really are hard, support from my partner definitely helped a lot, making sure I don’t fall asleep and then settling baby for me. It does get easier though !
