It can take a whie to get it figured out. My babies nursed pretty well, but I kept calling back when I had questions, and there were times, three months on and eight months on when things changed, and I had more questions. Let yourself be reassured. It's worth sticking out this I'm-not-quite-sure-I'm-doing-the-right-thing-am-I phase, because the benefits of nursing are sooooo good. Not just better for baby, better for you, too. I loved being able to soothe cranky baby on the spur of the moment in a crowded shopping mall without having to worry about dashing off somewhere to mix a bottle.
FWIW, I pumped, starting at three months, and supplemented with expressed milk. I nursed each baby more than two years.
