Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me About the Emotional Side of Breastfeeding?
By 
I cannot help but wonder why this emotional side of breastfeeding isn’t talked about more.
Why didn’t anyone tell me about all the emotional weight to have this new life depend solely on you for nourishment? Why didn’t anyone tell me about the anxiety you feel wondering if your milk is enough? Why didn’t anyone tell me about the loneliness of those 1am, 3am, and 5am feeds? Why didn’t anyone tell me about the guilt felt when my babies were losing weight and had to be weaned onto formula?
