N. -
I've got two girls, 5 1/2 & 2 1/2 that I breast fed for quite a while. Which I never thought I'd do, 'cause I just didn't think I'd be that committed, but I had Boob girls, and it was just easy (nothing extra to carry, nothing to buy or heat up, etc. etc.).
As for him learning to breastfeed - they'll help you in the hospital. In fact, the nurse wouldn't let me move from Labor & Delivery into the maternity ward until we'd practiced. For some reason I fought the practice, but it was very valuable, because getting the little ones to latch on the right way is something to get the hang of. They need a big mouthful or it hurts like heck, so it's worth the practice.
If you struggle with this, ask the nurses at the hospital. Or go to their breast feeding center (most hospitals have one) and get some coaching. La Leche League can be a big help too. Also, if you want to pump from time to time (nice if Daddy can do some feeding and you can sleep)don't do a manual pump. I rented a serious breast pump from the hospital both times and found it the only way to go. If you buy one, look for recommendations, because the little cheap ones are not worth it. Most of my breast feeding challenges came from not asking for help and not having a good pump (until I rented one).
The first few days? Euphoric, exhausting, frustrating, fun...the lack of sleep is the hard part. Makes everything harder than it should be. Sleep every moment you can - take all the help you can get, and despite the fact that biologically you are programmed to never let that little one go - do it anyway. Let the in-laws & aunties & parents AND THE FATHER help. Don't tell them they're doing it wrong, they'll figure it out and it'll be fine (this may not make sense now, but these words will float back to you at some point, and you'll know what I'm talking about). And a crucial point: let Daddy become an expert in everything he tries. Breast feeding is hardest on the daddies. I swear it to be true. It's a huge bonding experience for mommy & baby, but doesn't leave much left for the dad. So let him be the swaddling expert, or the diapering expert or the head washer. The Mama control urge can really squeeze the father out, and we don't even realize we do it. Maybe you won't have that problem, but it happens pretty often.
And yes, you'll probably be up every two hours. This is where personal choice comes in - some mamas co-sleep with the little ones so they don't have to get up to feed them. Some prefer to get up so that the little one gets used to sleeping in the bassinet/crib. I did it both ways. My opinion is do what works for you - if Mama Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy.
Somewhere around 5-6 months they start sleeping longer, which can be 5 hours at a time or more. Some start earlier. There is a school of thought which suggests that if newborns don't wake up every two hours to eat, you should wake them up to feed them. My second slept for about 3-4 hours right from the get go, and since her weight was fine, I didn't wake her up. We were all much happier that way.
Again, you'll get a feel for it and find your own routines. Think of the first couple of weeks as practice.
But mostly, have fun, don't stress. It all works out the way it's supposed to.
