can perhaps be accused of armchair psychology here, but these struggles seem particularly acute because trying harder—something that usually breeds success—doesn’t always work with breastfeeding. You worked hard to get a job, or to get into college—even to get pregnant—and you were successful! But introduce a new person, and some further constraints of biology, and all bets are off. You may have to accept, as I did, that no matter how hard you try, you will not make quite enough milk.
