I should add, for the rest of the story, that I went on to successfully BF DS for about 34 months. When I was first discharged, I had an oversupply.
For others who may find themselves in this situation, I would credit my success in part to the Lactation Consultant and hospital pump. I would also give some credit to planning ahead for breastfeeding after I returned to work. Before DS was born, I had a supply of the First Years Breastflow bottles and natural-shaped pacifiers. I specifically selected those to minimize nipple confusion.
