I wish I had known more about what to do if breastfeeding wasn't working too well.. I feel that I gave up on it too easily as it was much easier to just make him up a bottle of formula. I also wish I had been prepared with bottles and breast pumps etc when I came out of hospital... I just assumed I wouldnt need them!

Sarah - I found it really hard to know what he was crying about as well, and it was quite stressful for the first few weeks.
The two main reasons that I could pinpoint was that he was either hungry, or had wind pains... usually the latter. You'd be surprised how much crying can be caused by belly/wind pains. I wish they had taught us more methods of burping etc in the hospital.
