Reading too much! Reading into things to much too!

Hi guys!

I just read the post about possibly reading too much! I READ WAAAYYYYYY too much when my daughter was first born. I can remember reading Dr. Sears "Breastfeeding", when the breastfeeding was difficult in the beginning, and crying like I've never cried before because the book said that she would have skin problems, possibly mental problems and many other things if I didn't breastfeed! You know, I kept on nursing my daughter and was thankfully successful at it despite times when I was sure I was going to give it up because it was hard work - for both of us. At about 2 months I put down ALL of my books until I was handed "The Baby Whisperer" - It changed my perception and from there on in I've kept what I believe I needed and discarded all of the other crap (sorry for the word) out there.

The most important thing is this: Start as you intend to go!! Listen to your inner voice, most often this will tell you everything you need to know.
