For moms who choose to breastfeed, the struggle can be so real.
We turned to the comedic parents of Twitter to sum up the experience of nursing, from dealing with a wiggly baby to tackling late-night and early-morning sessions and more.
Here are a handful of hilarious tweets about breastfeeding from moms (and even a few funny observations from dads).
Still can't believe nobody's ever made a horror movie about breastfeeding a teething baby.

When you're a nursing mom, every bath you take is a milk bath.

The song "Gone, Gone, Gone" but about my breasts after nursing two kids past their first birthdays.

"OMG. Look at my boobs."
My 9 mo-old daughter slaps me in the face while I'm breastfeeding her. Ingrate.

I let my 1yo have Oreos for breakfast because I'm an awesome mom. Also I'm nursing and have to pee SO bad and I can't move to stop him.

It's a good thing nursing mothers have two nipples so the baby can nurse one boob while titty twisting the other.

3-year-old: *hands my breastfeeding wife a Hershey's bar*
— James Breakwell (@XplodingUnicorn) December 5, 2015
Wife: Well, thank you. What's this for?
3: The baby wants chocolate milk.
Evie: My bear is hungry.
— Melanie Dale (@UnexpectedMel) May 23, 2014
Me: Ok, let's get bear some food.
Evie: She needs your milk.
Me: I'm not breastfeeding your teddy bear.
Everyone: You'll lose so much weight while breastfeeding.

Me: Hahahaha... I eat every 45 minutes!
Dropped a Dorito on my son while nursing. He's asleep now, so I'll just leave it.

Jk it's cool ranch, obviously I'm gonna eat that sucker.
My son just told me he thought a nursing pad was a place where all the nurses hung out.

Nursing is healthy for my baby, and I reap the benefits as well.
— Walking Outside (@WalkingOutside) February 22, 2016
Like having my boobs bit and my eyes poked.
It's funny how the sight of a baby's first tooth can elicit completely different reactions from a dad and a breastfeeding mom.

How do you know when your baby is done with nursing? Is it when the wire in your last nursing bra snaps?
