“My nipples have gone to war and it’s tough in the trenches…

“You’d think after millions of years of evolution breastfeeding would be easy. Maybe for some it is but I’ve found it to be really fiddly. So many differing techniques to learn and heaps of pressure to get it right…”

Amanda explained she wanted to share her experience for any mothers going through the same thing, “…I wasn’t prepared for this, and so much pressure is put on us to get it right off the bat. So please know you’re not alone, I’m with you in those painful night feeds, and I feel your cracked nipple pain, endless hot baths, and swollen, bruised Montgomery’s…”

Although she admitted after five weeks she was “finally turning a corner” with it she reminded other mothers that , “however you feed, your baby needs YOU to be happy, that’s all that really matters in the end. Everyone’s journey is different and is equally special.”
