[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately there is a lot out of your control. For some moms, breastfeeding is easy and natural and lots of preparation is totally unnecessary. For others, all the preparation in the world won’t make their bodies make enough milk. The reason why so many women get defensive on threads like this is the implication that if only they had prepared enough, or tried hard enough, they would have been able to breastfeed successfully. For lots of women that’s just not the case. That being said, my best advice is to learn how to hand express in the first few days. I found hand expressing so much easier than setting up a breast pump and then washing it, and you can do it while holding a sleeping baby. If you need to express extra milk to help establish your supply, just hand express for a few minutes after each feed. [/quote]
