So Billy and I are the type of people that like to glom onto any information. Hence why he and I feel the need to take all these baby classes. So far, we've done a Baby Basics class and a two-day Childbirth Education class. Then we'll be doing a few hours of comfort measures and labor and delivery stuff with our doula.
And tonight, I did a two and a half hour breastfeeding class. Which was...overwhelming. I haven't felt overwhelmed or freaked out after any of our other classes, but this one freaked me out. It was major information overload. Too much stuff to remember. And maybe it was because it was the first class I did on my own without Billy and there was a lot of pressure to remember everything.
But then I thought about that scene in Knocked Up where Katherine Heigl is complaining that Seth Rogen isn't reading any of the baby books. And he says something to the effect that the ancient egyptians didn't have "What to Expect When You're Expecting."
Which always makes me feel better :)

You'll do fine... BF sounds complicated but as long as you relax, it's pretty easy... and if it doesn't work, there's always formula! Baby won't starve... plus your doula will help too!
Just hoping I can do it...you can be my lactaction consultant :)
I'm late reading some of your posts, but know that I'm here for you too when the time comes! About BF or ANYTHING else baby related! I'm not expert, but trust me, there is nothing more helpful than other new moms (well...the internet is pretty helpful too...but you know what I mean!)
