Off the cuff....
Breastfeeding is important, and you can do it.
Bottle nipples and pacifiers can mess up a baby's sucking, so the baby may
get less milk and make you sore.
Holding your baby skin to skin is good for you and the baby.
Breastfeeding should be comfortable -- if it hurts, ask for help.
New babies nurse very often and irregularly.
Don't wait till baby is crying -- keep baby close, and nurse her when she
moves her mouth.
Hold baby facing you, with her nose near where your nipple is [before you
grasp the breast], and bring her on chin-first.
Wait till baby opens *wide*, like a yawn.
Finish the first breast first.
If enough comes out, enough went in. [then a couple key details]
