Is breastfeeding harder with a second baby?

Currently pregnant with DC2. I breastfed DC1 and I’m really hoping to do the same again but I was speaking to a friend earlier who said she found it tougher breastfeeding her second than her first because she didn’t have as much time to sit down and relax while baby cluster feeds for hours etc with another child to look after and that she switched to bottle feeding because it was easier and quicker. And that the morning feed was difficult because baby was feeding for a long time and she had the school run etc to do with her eldest DC.
I am going to attempt it regardless but just wondered what other peoples experiences were with this?

My DC2 is now 16 days old & it’s been so easy breastfeeding him. I was luckily with DC2 as that was pretty easy too once I got into it but it’s been even easier this time. Even though I was worried that I’d forgotten what to do, it was just so natural for us
