Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’d love to hear some hopeful stories.

With my first baby, breastfeeding was incredibly painful, so I ended up exclusively pumping for months. Ironically, when I was ready to wean, I tried nursing again and it suddenly didn’t hurt, but by then my supply was almost gone.

For my second baby, I’d love to breastfeed and pump alongside it, rather than exclusively pump.

Has anyone had a really difficult breastfeeding experience with their first and a much better one with their second? I’d love to hear some hopeful stories! Thank you
