Good advice! I had a lot of trouble nursing my first daughter and after a horrible week without support from a good lactation consultant, we ended up formula feeding. My second daughter, on the other hand, began nursing and at 9+ months old is still going strong.

I also had problems with breastfeeding at first. Many hospitals have lactation consultants available to help new mothers with breastfeeding issues. La Leche League is also helpful, and has branches in many cities and towns.

My daughter in law choose to breastfeed and had some troubles in the beginning. Alivia did not know how to feed. She lost one pound and on the third day, she finally started eating. They had to go to a Latose nutritionist (I think that is what they called her) for help.
