Some mothers and babies can take on the art of breastfeeding quite easily with sheer content.
They epitomise the photographs which circle the internet of mums smiling down at their tots while nursing.
But unfortunately for some, it's not as favourable as they expect.
Some mums find breastfeeding a struggle, a struggle which they hadn't previously envisioned once their little one arrived into the world.
Angela Burzo was that mum.
Bringing her little girl into this world, she wanted nothing more than to feel their bond grow as she breastfed.
But her hopes and dreams were a lot harder to accomplish than she had expected.
Releasing a photograph on Instagram, the Florida mum can be seen breastfeeding while tears streamed down her cheeks.
Because, those first few weeks of breastfeeding are among the hardest for any mum and baby.
Angela shares: "I love seeing all these beautiful women in their beautiful nursing clothes smiling down at their babies as they lovingly look back up at them hand in hand while breastfeeding away."
"That is not my reality, right now that is. This is real and as much as I want to stay strong and be the soldier I feel I can be, I cannot hide the struggle that is BREASTFEEDING."
But it's not just about the struggle; Angela is speaking out on her experience because the reality of breastfeeding is a far cry from her original expectations.
And she is speaking up so other mums won't be disillusioned: "Whether she is not latching on properly, whether I am not producing enough milk to keep up with her demand, whether my nipples might not be adequate, whether we confused her with having to give her a bottle after pumping..."
"Whatever it may be it has been an emotional and painful struggle."
"Today has been full of no naps, sucking and not eating, crying and frustrated parents. This photo depicts my reality of this breastfeeding journey so far."
While many mums may not feel the same as Angela, there are others who will take comfort in knowing they're not struggling alone.
Well done to Angela for sharing her thoughts on such a difficult journey.
