First successful feeding

It's amazing how complicated breast feeding can be. This time my milk came in two days which is super fast but Alexis didnt learn how to suck until just now. So I have been engorged and worried sick that she doesn't have enough to eat although I had the milk. After a day of struggle (pumping, hand express, training her how to get the milk and tons of worrying), she has her first successful feeding - 20 min of almost continuous large sucking (she use to stop after two motions), she promptly fell asleep here satisfied and I finally feel content to have fed her well. Looking forward to the next feeding in about an hour and 20 min.
