Hello all. I am currently 19 weeks along with my 3rd LO however this will be the first I will BF. After reading through various posts here I have realized there is a ton of info I need. My kids other are significantly older (17 & 14) so this feels like a first time experience all over again. Our childbirth classes start March 25th and I did sign up for the breastfeeding classes too. However I'd like to try to do some "homework" before hand.

I have seen terms such as fore milk and let down used in other posts and while I think I have a general idea of what those are I still have a deer in headlights look.

Are any books or mags I should check to educate myself a little? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

kellymom.com is awesome. Just keep lurking these posts, and you'll catch on. Some things I just didn't "get" until I was actually BFing my baby.

I also like this book (So that's what they're for).  Thought it had helpful info in a down to earth funny way.  https://www.amazon.com/So-Thats-What-Theyre-Breastfeeding/dp/1580620418
