Preparing for Breastfeeding

[HappyMum94]

Hello,

I am planning to breastfeed my little one, when he or she gets here later this year. What advice would you give a mum who is preparing to breastfeed for the first time? Should I do anything to prepare my body? I have heard other women say that you need to "toughen" your nipples before birth, is this true? I am also wondering about the experience, does it hurt like some people say?

I really need advice and right now my mum is still pretty upset with me for both getting pregnant and hiding it from her, so I am not really able to ask her about much. I would love any advice you could give.
