Here is a great website to check out: http://kellymom.com/
I learned most of what I needed to know from researching on the internet. I had a nurse and a lc at the hospital who were quite helpful. For me, it was mostly learning on my own and figuring out what worked best for us. We had a rough start when my son was in the nicu, but stuck with it and he is now almost 17 months and still going strong. It can take time and patience, but well worth all of the work you need to put into it. It was very important for me to have support and encouragement from those around me and for those times I couldn't find the adequate support I needed in my life, I came to MDC!
It sounds like you are doing great. I would say educate yourself the best you can with as many resources as you can. Check out the lll and possibly a lc. Are there any people in your life who have breastfed and could help you out? Good luck Mama, you are about to embark on a beautiful journey.
