Yeah It's so awful. My sister hasn't even given birth yet, and she's already crying and upset because she's not sure if she will be able to breastfeed her babies. She's a healthy BMI, but she has a benign tumor on her pituitary gland so she doesn't produce sex hormones naturally (like she's never had a natural period). She had to have extensive fertility treatments just to get pregnant in the first place, and even her doctor isn't sure if she will be able to produce milk.

These nurses and lactation consultants are putting so much stress on women to breastfeed, it's ridiculous. Being a new mom is hard enough already without all that other shit on top of it.
