40 Memes That Perfectly Capture the Hilarity That Is Breastfeeding

Suzee Skwiot

From the painful beginnings to those marathon nursing sessions that last half the night, the breastfeeding journey can be one heck of a rollercoaster ride for everyone involved. In fact, sometimes breastfeeding moms are left wondering where their own bodies end and their little babies' hungry mouths begin. Breastfeeding can be as cruel an experience as it can be beautiful and natural, and the emotions that go along with it are just as complex. This is why moms just have to talk about what it's like -- and we absolutely need to be able to laugh about it. 

Read on for 40 hilarious breastfeeding memes that will make moms do just that! These nursing memes and the demanding, breast-loving babies they feature are the absolute truth. (We're pretty sure number 8 is exactly what every baby really thinks, LOL!) Everyone will want to share these memes about breastfeeding with their best mom friends who've been there, or who are currently there -- and really need to have a laugh.
