Success story--don't give up!

BostonMama2011

Just wanted to give hope to those of you having trouble, my LO was born July 1st, and I had every problem imaginable breastfeeding: flat nipples, latch issues, low milk supply, recurrent thrush, low weight gain, blood in stool, elimination diets, you name it.  We persevered and are now going on almost 11 months!  I almost quit those first 3 weeks so many times; I have a PhD and literally succeeding at breastfeeding was harder than graduate school in many ways!  Don't give up, it will get easier and be worth it!
