I answered I was somewhat prepared, I felt I had enough at the time.

In all honesty I'm not sure how perpared you can be for breastfeeding before you actually have a go at it. I tried to read as much as I could while I was pg, becuase my mum hadn't "been able" to breastfeed us kids, and she was convinced that I wouldn't be able to either. I was also worried about my (then) flat nipples. I think that wil be less of a problem next time around!

I certainly wasn't prepared for an uncooperative baby with a short tongue, and a tongue tie so small it took 7 weeks to be picked up, even though I repeatedly asked for it to be checked.

I did have a lot of post-natal BF support though, which was excellent.
