Wow really? I'm shocked that this isn't like, a significant part of the whole process, with the midwife and hospital staff and post-birth care..
And that there isn't an abundance of easily accessible resources already in place to help new mothers.
I'm a dude without kids and even I'm aware that some babies don't take to breast feeding immediately, or even after a day or two. Not everyone has a midwife and hospital stays are ridiculously expensive in the US. Having a kid in a hospital can easily be tens of thousands of dollars (most of which insurance pays).
