Celebrity Moms' Quotes About Breastfeeding
11 Celebrities Share Their Breastfeeding Journeys — and Nursing Moms Everywhere Can Relate
Whitney Port
In an episode of her web series, I Love My Baby But . . . , Whitney Port opened up deeply to her viewers about her struggles with breastfeeding. Her tearful breakdown during the episode titled "I Haven't Loved Breastfeeding That Much" showcased the emotional side of nursing for those moms who have anything but an easy breastfeeding experience:
"I thought I was doing really well and the nurses there said that the latch was good, and I was really surprised. But after about 24 to 48 hours of doing it, it just started to get so incredibly painful. And we came home, and I just hit a breaking point and said, 'I can't do this.' It feels like someone is slicing my nipples with glass. . . I feel like a lot of people are going to tell me to just have patience and try to do it because it's only been a week. But I just don't know if it's something that is going to get better or not. So that's what I feel anxious about. Like, how much longer am I willing to try it before I just give up on it and just pump and give him the bottles and be OK with it?"
