Hi,
Despite all our dreams, all the books we read, the classes we do, new motherhood rarely meets our expectations. I remeber very clearly and with some embarrassement, thrusting my 3 week old breastfed baby and a bottle into my husband's arms and taking off for a long drive (actually, I think my thought process at that time was that I was never going back - but I did, and went on to breastfeed for a long time!). To be honest, motherhood was completely overwhelming. You have got some great suggestions. If you feel that you might be heading towards PND, please talk to some-one about it.
Regarding breastfeeding hang in there and get the help you need-and ask over and over and over again. It is something worth getting right.
Give us an update on how things are.
