1) Avoid comparisons. The biggest mistake nursing mamas make (We did this too) is compare themselves to what other nursing mamas are doing. Each nursing relationship is unique. Some had too much milk, some had just enough.
2) Trust yourself. Before you quit, give yourself time (6 to 8 weeks) to adjust to breastfeeding.
3) Keep well hydrated. Get a water bottle with a straw and keep it filled to the brim. You never know when you'll get thirsty, and it might not be a convenient time [like while you're nursing] to get more water.
Let's encourage and support each other. Happy breastfeeding, mamas!
