You're not failing. You're learning.
And so is your baby.
Nobody is born knowing how to breastfeed or pump. Not you, not your baby. It's a skill that takes practice, patience, and often some troubleshooting.
When it's hard, when it hurts, when it feels like everyone else has it figured out except you — especially when you're scrolling through social media seeing everyone's highlight reels and "easy hacks" they say led to a freezer stash (uh, can we get a fact check on those, please?).
Struggling doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. It means you're in the middle of learning something incredibly complex.
Some people get lucky and it clicks right away. For others, it takes time, adjustments, and support. Neither path says anything about your capability as a parent.
You're allowed to struggle. You're allowed to need help. You're allowed to take time to figure this out. You got this. And we've got you.
