I think Teresa makes a very valid point. I remember thinking this exactly
when I was pregnant with my first. I remember skipping the breastfeeding
chapter in the book because I figured I could learn about that later. I was
so focused on labor that I couldn't cope with anything else.
I always suggest to pregnant women that they take their breastfeeding book
with them to the hospital so they can refer to it while they are there.
