Breastfeeding is real work.
In fact, your body uses up to 25% of its resting energy to make milk.
That means the fatigue you feel isn’t a lack of strength or willpower. It’s your body doing something metabolically demanding, around the clock.
Rest matters. Nourishment matters. Support matters.
If breastfeeding feels heavy some days, it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means your body is working incredibly hard for your baby.
