You're not the first mom to struggle.  Reach out to fellow moms or seek the advice of a lactation consultant.  Studies show that women with a support system breastfeed longer!

Watch your baby, not the clock.  Trying to schedule your newborn can negatively impact your milk supply.  Feeding on demand will help with milk supply and proper weight gain.

One of the most common breastfeeding mistakes that is often overlooked is excess stress!  Remember, breastfeeding is a skill and you need time & practice to learn how to do it. Stress can sabotage your body, compromise your immune system and negatively impact milk production. Stress will only make breastfeeding harder. 

Many moms are nervous to breastfeed in public. Staying home forever is not a great option, so if you don't learn to nurse it public it can be a negative and stressful experience.  Try a nursing cover if it helps and the right outfit can help, like a nursing tank, dress, or shirt from Undercover Mama.
