contact info is on the bottom of the siteWhere could i go to get breastfeeding advice?
i dont know where you live but in australia we have the australian breastfeeding association and you can email them any question you have and they will write back within 48hrs with an answer for you, they have women volenteers who write them and they are so encouraging. make sure you tell them lots of info about you and your baby so they can give you the best advice relating to you.
My friend wanted to breastfeed her adopted baby and she was told to use the breast pump for 15 minutes every 2 or 3 hours. She had never had a baby, but it worked. She said it's very, very painful though (dry pumping would be).





You could also let your baby suck as much as possible. If she's still very small, she will want to suck a lot anyway.





A lactation consultant can help, but they are very expensive. However, if you are in the U.S., you could call your local W.I.C. office. They usually have a lactation consultant who will give you advice free of charge. I don't think you have to be on W.I.C. to call them. Also, the website below has free online sessions with lactation consultants.





Good luck.
