It was absolutely worth it!! One day when my daughter was about 9mths a woman
from my yoga class, who had only jut had her baby, stopped by with her husband
to pick up some nappies. The next time I saw her she told me how, as they
drove away her husband had said to her "You make breastfeeding look easy but
she makes it look like it's nothing at all". I cried and still cry every time i
think of this conversation. Making it through to that point was absolutely
worth it.
Lieve's point is also very very true.
cheers
