I second the www.kellymom.com, fantastic, and also www.babycenter.com have online forums to give you very good advice immediately, the ladies there are devoted. Here is good info on breastfeeding too Dr. Sears .

It is important to realize, everything is so intense now, hormons, birth, lactating, sleep deprivation, it will all ease itself in a couple of days. Babies soon establish a schedule that corresponds to their needs.

I agree wholeheartedly with being careful with imposing a routine, since more milk you get out of your boobs more milk it means in following days for your little one (since your production will increase) and less work for him while trying to suck it out.

We had a super chilled babe and I was not too worried about my supply and it dried out during our child's growth spurt and I ended up nursing every hour for couple of months to make up for it. It is way easier to establish a good supply now then try to kick up your supply laters. Pump a little after every feeding, it will support your lactation.

And, what helped me remain relatively sane, was - get out of your house. Go get some coffee by yourself, for a little walk, read a paper, window shop. See friends (having them over is stressfull, one feels guilty for having one's household upside down), meet up over coffee. See other parents and newborns, there are meeting groups for children every age.

Good luck and congrats on your baby. It is wonderful you are willing to nurse your child, it's a gift for life.
