the funny thing about breastfeeding is that when you REALLY want to do it, nothing will stop you. not poor latch, not poor supply, not having a baby strapped to your breast 24/7, not sick pain from surgery/episiotomy/hemorhoids/NOTHING.
it's this crazy drive...this NEED to give your child YOUR milk that makes you VERY creative with how you handle it and your life.
necessity is the mother of all invention. 
OMG- Aint that the truth!! I remember my nipples just bleeding in the beginning and the pain/anxiety that came with every feeding! I'd break out in hives before every feeding in anticipation of the pain I was about to endure! BUT I got through it because I was determined to make it work!

I know when my dd was younger bf was my life. It is very demanding and I was lucky enough to be home which really made it possible.
I also was not embarassed to nurse in public so I could nurse her anywhere if need be.

Re: BF moms- how do you make "life" work?
when i was having issues pumping and feeding this is exactly what i thought..how the hell do mothers do this. I felt like i would be a slave to nursing...b/c after the baby would be done eating, you would have to pump. and then when you're done pumping, its time to nurse again.
I dont know how bf'ing moms do it.
Even formula fed...DS takes a bottle every 2-3 hours..i feel like i spend my day feeding, burping, soothing and starting all over again.
 to you for breastfeeding. I couldnt do it.

At that age, i was in the house all the time. But once I started to take them out, I would BF in public. It was either that or pump and take along bottles, and it was just easier to take my nursing cover and BF where ever I was.
