Therefore, the big question every mom asks is will breastfeed get any easier the second time around? The answer is that every child is different. One baby can latch on right away while another baby will have no interest to latch on. Therefore, a mom cannot predict how a baby will breastfeed until you actually put the baby onto your breast. It is very important that while you are pregnant you go to breastfeeding preparation classes. Ask your OB.
