The best piece of advice I received before breastfeeding was to rough up my breasts with wash clothes in the weeks leading up to delivery. I am about to deliver #3 in 2 weeks and need to start again!
The best advice I received as a full time working/nursing mother was to pump and feed at the same time. I would nurse on one side and pump on the other every morning and evening to build my fridge stock for the next day while i was away at work. It was hard, but it was the best I could do for my daughter.
Don’t watch the clock. Especially in the beginning because you are building up your milk supply.

First baby, first month of breastfeeding is hard! I know some people have no issues, but I was not one of them. My nipples blistered, my boobies were swollen and sore, as if labor wasn’t grueling enough, right… But, DON’T GIVE UP! It gets so much better. Nothing can compare to that closeness and bonding time. You are giving your baby nature’s perfect nectar!
Besides the advice not to give up, the best advice I have is to relax when nursing. Breathe deep and let your body relax to get a good let down.

The best BFing advice I have gotten is to nurse when the baby is hungry not on a schedule. Babies are not born with a schedule but listen to what their bodies need, so we should oblige!
Also nursing while laying down so we can both get some much needed rest. golden advice.

I heard so many horror stories on how hard it was, but it turned out to be a breeze for us. The best advice would be to not stress out so much about it and just see how it works out for you before worrying about how hard it will be.

The best breastfeeding advice I was given was to continue taking pre-natal vitamins while breastfeeding to enrich the milk…

That it gets much easier after the first month…promise!
The best piece of advice I got was to relax and let her nurse as little or often as she wants.

Don’t get discouraged, breast is best. Shared on Facebook.
Best piece of advice I got was to stick with it…if you can get through the first couple months, it’s a breeze afterwards. And it truly is! We had a tough time in the beginning due to latching issues and him being early, but it’s been almost a year now and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank God for not having to buy formula! :-)
to feed on demand, not schedule at the beginning

The best advice I was told is to not gauge what you are producing by what you get out of your pump. You’ll just go crazy with the numbers thinking your baby isn’t getting enough. No pump can get what a baby can get. Just boob them when they are hungry.
