11 Breastfeeding Surprises You Definitely Won't Expect

I remember when my first close girlfriend had a baby and told a group of child-free women how she spent an hour nursing her newborn each time, and he had to eat every two hours. "Wow, that's tough," we all said. "But at least you get a two-hour break." No, she explained. The two hours started at the beginning of each feeding, cutting that break down to a mere 60 minutes. Be prepared, especially in the beginning, to feel like you're doing nothing but nursing, so find a comfy spot, invest in a great pillow and blanket, and cozy up.
