hi, First let me start of by saying that I love all your videos. Their a HUGE Help. I am a First time mom..and I have no idea what im doing. I have tons of questions about breastfeeding. I feel like everything Im doing is wrong. Im so scared to take care of my daughter, especially bc she is a preemie. I was wondering if I can ask you questions and you can help me out. Thank you Melissa

  I will do my best — I appreciate if you ask them in the form of comments to a show b/c that way hopefully another mom can benefit — my 3rd was a premie — I could not nurse him for several days but I pumped religiously every 3 hours — the first few days I got nothing! Then, it came in… I ended up having more milk for him than for any of the other babies, and he had a bottle every day and was so flexible, it worked out great. You can ask me anything, hang in there, sending lots of love, xoxo Melissa
