Most mothers will likely agree that Big Daddy Kane got it wrong: It's breastfeeding that ain't easy -- not pimpin' (sorry!). Brittany Morrison is a Minnesota mom of two whose tandem breastfeeding post has gone viral, and has inspired mommies everywhere to keep fighting the good fight.
"Nursing my girls has been one of the biggest accomplishments I have had!"
In her post on the Breastfeeding Mama Talk Facebook page, Brittany writes a heartfelt post about her experiences breastfeeding -- including the struggles and the victories. No matter the excruciating pain she felt breastfeeding her first daughter, Brittany tried her best to keep on trucking, and thankfully, she was able to accomplish her breastfeeding goals.
As you can see, daughters Lucy, almost 3, and Eleanor, 1, are completely satisfied with Mom's liquid gold.

Whether or not you agree with public breastfeeding, or posting images that promote the cause, I think it's great that moms feel comfortable enough to share their journeys.
Sometimes, you don't have anyone to look to in your day-to-day group who understands exactly what you're going through. And if Brittany's post makes you feel empowered to keep on trying in the breastfeeding arena, I say mission accomplished.
And two kids at that!

The truth is, breastfeeding is hard -- and if it were that easy, more women would likely be up for the challenge. Sometimes there are issues latching; sometimes there are issues with milk supply; and sometimes, you're just too dang tired to keep up with it -- or don't have the chance to do so (hey, the struggle is real).
I breastfed my firstborn son until he was 11 months, and am currently nursing my 8-month-old boy. If it wasn't for the honestly of my mom friends, I don't know where I would be today.
Whether you make the choice to breastfeed or not, it's nice to hear about other ladies' stories that might help make your walk a little more manageable.
Thanks for sharing, Brittany!
