My battleground was breastfeeding. I had a terrible start with my first child and when I had the same issues with my second baby, I used all the resources and information I had gained the first time around. I was able to cut myself some slack, recognize the problem much quicker and saved myself a lot of pain and suffering. We got back on track with nursing much sooner than I had with my first daughter. It’s been one of the most difficult and rewarding struggles I have ever been through.
