Life
While breastfeeding is a wonderful bonding experience with your baby, and has many health benefits, it sure can get boring after the first few weeks. For those first few weeks, you're busy marveling at your baby, incredulous that you created the magical and adorable little creature in your arms. But after that, you may need these 20 breastfeeding memes to get you through that nursing session.
Let's be honest, sometimes breastfeeding can get boring, and there's nothing worse than your phone being just out of reach, or your remote being on the other chair and you can't get to your Netflix queue. Being able to multitask comes in handy, and while some moms master the art of walking around and do other things while her baby is attached, others may decide to have a snack while their baby is chowing down. (I won't tell anyone if your baby has had a ton of food fall on their head.)
And while it's a miraculous feat to be able to provide your baby nourishment, things sure can get uncomfortable and downright funny when it comes to everything that comes along with being a breastfeeding mama. There are lopsided boobs, shark teeth, painful engorgement, leaks, you name it. Thankfully, there are other folks out there on the internet who get it, and find the humor in this important task. And they've provided these memes online for your entertainment, as you scroll through your social media feeds while your baby happily eats away.

A Little Shopping Spree Never Hurt Anyone
Almost as bad as a late-night, Ambien-induced shopping spree. You couldn't stop yourself and didn't even realize what you had done until you hit that "order" button. Oops.

Now that song is in your head once again for the millionth time. And you thought you were rid of it, at least for a while. You're welcome. Also, having leaky boobs sucks.
