I did it! 6 months of pretty much exclusive breastfeeding. We had a few weeks early on of giving some formula, but that's it!
There were days when I thought I wouldn't make it to the next feeding let alone 6 months. It's wasn't easy, there were many days when just to get through I would say to myself, just get through the next feeding and if it's too hard there is no shame in switching to formula. But I wanted it too much and we kept working on it. And you know what? It got so much better and I couldn't imagine not doing it now. (I'm too lazy for formula anyway) So my advice for any new mom struggling with breastfeeding is you can do it! And if you can't it's OK it doesn't make you any less of a mom!
