I didn't think much about breastfeeding before I had my first baby. Then for the next 14 months, I thought about it constantly. When I needed to do it next, how long I had before my breasts started leaking, how much milk I had in the freezer . . . being so obsessed with a part of motherhood that I had barely considered before her birth was a shocker.
I've also witnessed mom friends who swore they would breastfeed as long as possible switch to bottles almost immediately because it just didn't work for them. And I've seen moms who were convinced they didn't want to breastfeed at all try it, love it, then continue for years. Basically, when it comes to breastfeeding, you never know what you're going to get, so keep an open mind.
