Hi,

I second the suggestions about joining ABA and going to a breastfeeding class that they run.

Babies are born to breastfeed. It's natural, but it's something a new mother has never done before and neither has the baby, so you are likely to have ups and downs as you both learn.
I would also get a copy of Sue Cox's DVD "Mom and Baby I can do that" It talks about getting breastfeeding off to the best start in the birthing room. Put into your birth plan that you want your baby skin to skin with you until after the first feed - at least an hour, and you don't want to be interrupted. You don't need to weight the baby if all is going well. Ask your partner and relatives not to take the baby or hold it - he needs to know his mummy first.
Now, of course, many babies have had a different start to this, and have gone on to breastfeed fine - but in my experience it sure makes things a lot easier.
Ask the hospital if they have a Lactation consultant and how to contact her. It's good to have all your support stratefies in place.

Warm Regards
Barb
