I'm very impressed by most of what I read here and congratulate you all for wanting to do what is best for your baby.
Remember that breastfeeding for even one day is better than never at all. Literally.
Also, remember that (at least when we were in the heat of this) doctors get (or at least got) amost no education on breastfeeding in medical school. Then remember that, like there are bad docotors and bad mechanics and bad electricians, there are some bad lactation consultants.
A large part of successful breastfeeding is mechanical, and someone who can actually watch (as nikki1920 wrote above) who knows those mechanics (proper positioning and other tips) can be a great help on getting the breastfeeding relationship off on the right track.
Sincere best wishes to you all from a dad who not only went through watching a wife breastfeed our children, but also spent years listening to an "expert" help other breastfeeding moms.
You are all very special.
