Breast feeding questions.?

your local hospital should offer a class on breastfeeding...there are also many books on breastfeeding you can find a local bookstore...the internet does wonders as well for answering questions...or contact a lactation consultant and they can definitely help...i would say go for it...i have been breastfeeding my son since birth and he is 11 months old...it was a rocky road but if you have your mind set then you can do it...to start off with new born should feed off of each side for 15 mins to start with...they may fall asleep b4 that time...just try to arouse them and keep them awake...it is tru that what you eat comes out in your breast milk...my son has acid reflux so i have to stay away from acidic foods...your baby will learn how much to eat as it grows and will let you know when it is full...just be sure to switch sides after each feeding...so if u start with your left and go to your right breast...at the next feeding start with your right and go on to your left...using a pump works wonders too...it helps with that full feeling...you can check out whattoexpect.com and find helpful hints there as well to help you continue with breastfeeding! congrats and enjoy that bonding with your baby! its great!
