I remember being pregnant with my first and knowing I wanted to breastfeed but not having a clue where to start or really the true benefits of breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Internet searches led me down all types of wild goose chases. I learned that supply was important, and it seemed impossible to have a good one. I learned the exact conditions to thaw milk and all of these fancy things I should take or do in order to produce milk but had no idea how milk suddenly appeared when it was time to nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NONE OF THIS HELPED ME. In fact, it probably just caused way more stress than I needed as a new mom. Working with lactation consultants at the hospital after birth and then throughout those early months, I learned what I really needed to know to breastfeed<\/a>. THANKFULLY!<\/p>\n\n\n
