We cheer “Breastfeeding! Yay!” on social media, and around our female friends with feminist pride. But at 3 a.m. you may be cudgeling yourself with, “Oh, dear god, what have we done?” Intellectually, we all know it’s better for our babies, and instinctually, many of us want to do it. But our pregnant daydreaming does little to prepare us for the pain, frustration, self-judgment, and fear that we may experience by choosing to breastfeed. A humorous, commiserative story that tells the truth about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of breastfeeding. Features the stories of dozens of saints (read: moms) with all of the pain, terror, humanity and even bliss that comes with breastfeeding.
