Arte, you did great I too had no probs but admitedly I had a pretty crusy start with a good birth. While not denying some have a real hard time I can second the idea that you can actually have a completly trouble-free BF experience. Absolutely no issues with attachment, mastitis, thrush, pain, supply or cracked nipples from me.....it was literally plain sailing all the way. That said I think it is very imporatnt to be as informed as possible about the process before you start.
