Emily Atack shares her breastfeeding struggles after giving birth

Emily Atack, known for her role in 'The Inbetweeners', recently opened up about her difficult breastfeeding experience after giving birth to her son Barney. The struggle took place during a time when she was adjusting to motherhood, as well as returning to work shortly after the birth. The actress described moments of desperation and frustration when she found herself unable to successfully breastfeed. Despite previously having confidence in her physical attributes, she expressed how ironic it was that her breasts, which had served her well throughout her life, were unable to nourish her child. This led to feelings of inadequacy as a mother, exacerbated by concerns over public perceptions of her inability to breastfeed. At one point, she humorously noted that six people were assisting her to help get her son to latch. The experience highlighted the complexities of breastfeeding, including the need for the right angle and techniques, and led her to reflect on her support system. Atack expressed gratitude for her family's assistance during such a challenging situation. However, she acknowledged the sense of horror and helplessness she felt while navigating the pressures of new motherhood and breastfeeding challenges, amidst ongoing discussions about the societal expectations placed on mothers. Overall, her experience serves to illuminate the struggles many new mothers face in such intimate and often scrutinized situations.
