Most hospitals now offer breastfeeding classes and have lactation consultants on staff. These classes are a must. You would be surprised at how difficult something so natural can be. I took this class and can definitely say that it was beneficial for both my baby and me. It not only teaches you the importance of breastfeeding but techniques of feeding your baby. When my second child was born, I think she spent hours at the breast, something I didn't do with the first one and think it made a huge difference with building my milk supply. This will not only establish the immediate bond but tells your body to begin producing milk to fulfill the demand. Don't look at the clock, just do it.
