Breastfeeding The Second Time Around: a new latch with every baby

A lot of moms come to me expecting that because they nursed their first baby, the second will simply fall into place. My article "Breastfeeding The Second Time Around" addresses that assumption head-on: every baby is unique, and the honest answer to "will it get easier the second time?" is that every child is different. One baby latches easily; the next may need patience and a different approach. Experience from a first baby helps, but it does not guarantee an identical start. The practical takeaway I keep returning to with families is to treat each new baby as its own situation rather than measuring against what worked before.
