ngdawg reminded me of one more thing.
My daughter had trouble nursing to begin with too because the morphine in my system was also in hers. She sucked on her bottom lip and needed some help getting it right. I didn't know she didn't have a proper latch to begin with and got sore. My hospital, Gunderson Lutheran in LaCross, Wi (my Dr had done their internship at Mayo
) offere lactation consultants and were excellent in assisting me in getting my daughter started breastfeeding. They cup fed her in the meantime to help boost her weight as she lost a whole lb before we'd left the hospital. If you plan to nurse and haven't before I really recommend a lactation consultant. It's worth it. Also get with La Leche League as they are very helpful and supportive.
I'm pro-breastfeeding and LOVED it as you can see but I'm pro-feeding-choice moreso. However you choose to feed your baby - Don't let anyone tell you you'r wrong. It's your choice, what works for you and if you are loving your baby there's nothing wrong with bottle feeding or breastfeeding.
