The physical relief of having fully drained boobs cannot be overstated.

If nursing were easy, there wouldn't be so many helpful products.

I think I would scream too if someone violently jammed a big ass breast in my mouth.

If we wear our nursing covers backwards like capes, then everyone can see we're breastfeeding superheroes.

Heaven is the feeling of hand warmers on sore nipples.

Go hug a nursing mom -- but not too hard. Her boobs may hurt.

In case you haven't heard, let me tell you now, babies do not come out knowing how to breastfeed.

Successful breastfeeding take courage, resilience, patience, and support and it always has. If your partner or support group hasn't piled on the accolades for your heroism, then let them know you will expect oohs and has when you make it through the first two to three months (no matter how you got there) and your baby is happy and healthy -- because you are awesome!

I can absolutely assure you that birth is nothing like holding an ice cube in your hand for a minute and breathing through the "pain.

Though breastfeeding is supposed to the most natural thing ever, it seems like a rich-people sport for all the stuff we buy to help.
