I went to an ABA class and read up heaps. I think when you join up now you get the Breastfeeding Naturally book for free too.

Definitely the more you educate yourself, the easier it is to sift through all the different/conflicting advice you will receive. And you WILL receive it. LOL. Be it from different midwives at the hospital, from rellies & friends.. it goes on and on. And only take advice from someone who has actually successfully breastfed! I'm sure all advice is well meaning, but when you're tired and worried and struggling, you don't need to hear little comments about supplementing with formula etc coz it can undermine your confidence.

Read up on debunked myths too! Such as many people think their milk dried up around 6 weeks or so coz their boobs didn't feel full and the baby started fussing... but in most cases, it's usually just the boobs self-regulating.. no longer overproducing.. together with bub starting to demand more to up the supply for a growth spurt. Knowing little things like this helps you to ignore comments like "my milk dried up around this time, maybe yours is too".

Sounds like you've got the right mindset to be successful! Enjoy it!
