It's great to talk about the difficulties - it definitely helps to know that others are going through the same problems, but I'd like to take a minute to go through the resources I compiled in my sleep-deprived anxiety-laden quest to 'get it right'. I know that they would be useful for new Mom's-to-be in a way that my breastfeeding classes never were. So here they are:

Canadian Breastfeeding Foundation. Amazing! First stop choice.

International Breastfeeding Centre. Second stop choice. HAS VIDEOS!!!

http://www.nbci.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=1

La Leche League. So many good articles. My go-to articles were the ones about "Clampdown Bite Reflex" and "The World of Latch-on: One Leader's Journey"

http://www.lalecheleague.org/

Breastfeeding Basics. Wide variety of topics.

http://www.breastfeedingbasics.com/articles/waking-a-sleepy-baby

An article about overactive letdown, which explains a problem that so many mothers have, whether they have oversupply or NOT!

An article about milk flow, the most critical issue surround a newborn's reaction to breastfeeding.

http://www.mobimotherhood.org/MM/article-milkflow.aspx

An article about artificial nipples. Hint: The orthodontic Nuks work best, because they fit on standard bottles yet still have a wide base, and they squish nicely in the shape of a woman's breast in the mouth.
