Funny Breastfeeding Quotes to Motivate You

Breastfeeding is one of those things in life that nothing can prepare you for. It is messy, mysterious and can be uncomfortable, but above all, it is beautiful and deeply moving. The best thing is that there are many women who have gone before us and shared their wisdom and experiences for us to draw on.

This collection of funny and heartfelt breastfeeding quotes are my favourites and have either made me laugh, motivated me, or touched me deeply and I hope you enjoy them!
