My advice to any future mom and dads is to seek support during pregnancy. Don't wait until you have a problem. Remember that doctors have no formal training in human lactation unless they have sought it out on their own. Its not covered in medical school. Also don't listen to advice from women who never breastfed or have had a bad experience. Many moms are out to sabotage other womens breastfeeding experiences due to guilt or anger. Sad but true.

Very sad and very true. I had a shouting match with my mother
the day I came home from the hospital about the fact that I wanted to nurse my baby, not feed him. Still makes me angry. It was only until my mother got proof that he was growing that she let up and started to offer limited support, which did continue to grow as my son did.
