Hi Gracie,
I suggest breastfeeding bubs as soon as possible after birth, ringing the nurses everytime when you attach bubs while in hospital (even if you think you're doing it right) - yes they might give conflicting advice but I listened to them all and learnt a lot that way. You're only in hosp. for a short time so use it to get all the nurses to help you learn good attachment techniques. Once you've got that down pat you should be fine. I agree about the bottle/formula thing, I never had either of these in my house only because I always knew I would be breastfeeding so why would I need those? I found breastfeeding to be easy and pleasurable and you will too! Not everyone has difficulties with it.
