I just chatted with a friend about breastfeeding, so it's on my brain.

DS and I made it 18 months with no formula. I was stressed beyond belief between making sure he got enough and worrying about milk rotation and expiration, it hurt for the first 3 months, pumping at work was oh so "fun." I'm not sure it really helped strengthen our bond. We had some sweet moments, especially when he would fall asleep on me, but in general, I just remember it as a stressful time.

Yet, I'm gearing up to do it all over again with DD.

So.....how do I get psyched for something that caused so much stress the first time around? For those who already have a child or 2, did you breastfeed? Are you planning to do it again?
