Why Breastfeeding Feels Hard (and Why It’s Not Your Fault)
For most of human history, new parents were surrounded by helpers—people who could recognize a good latch, offer a nourishing meal, and reassure them that what they were feeling was normal. Those supports are part of what made breastfeeding possible and sustainable.
Today, we expect parents to learn from a 10-minute LC visit in the hospital, a handful of brochures, and late-night TikToks. We’ve replaced a village with a search bar—and then we ask why it feels so isolating.
