“The first four to six weeks are the toughest, then it starts to settle down,” says Cathy. “And when you get to three months, breastfeeding gets really easy – way easier than cleaning and making up a bottle. Just hang in there!”
Beside above, what’s the hardest part of breastfeeding?
The first six weeks of breastfeeding is tough going. Learning to feed your baby, dealing with sore nipples and trying to figure out whether your little one is getting enough milk can make this time incredibly challenging.
Keeping this in view, how long should I try breastfeeding before I give up? There is no “right” age you need to breastfeed your child to. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond.
Also question is, why is breastfeeding so tiring?
Breastfeeding fatigue comes from “your body breaking down the nutrients from the food you eat, and using your body’s nutrient stores to create the various components of breast milk — this process takes energy,” Tori Hamilton, an obstetrical nurse, IBCLC, LLL leader, and mom of three tells Romper.
