Since you might have similar anxieties about your baby's pediatrician, and might be surprised at all the rules and details about baby health and all the check-up stuff, this is a good primer for new parents. I find the AAP books easy to understand. You could mark pages and bring it to the pediatrician with you, so you're better prepared to ask questions. I also like Dr. Sears' baby books as well. You can do this!

> You can't describe the personality of a baby.
The nursing personalities of newborns were first described and classified by Edith Banfield Jackson, MD, a Yale University researcher in the 50s:
After a couple days of this, I was reading the book Your Baby’s First Year, from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and came across a section, called Getting to Know Your Baby’s Feeding Patterns, that ---> described five different nursing personalities<---, including the “Excited Ineffectives” — infants who “become frantic at the sight of the breast.”
The breastfeeding types were characterized by Yale University researcher Edith Jackson, M.D., during the 1950s, when she observed hundreds of nursing newborns in the university hospital’s maternity ward. If you had a healthy, full-term baby, you might recognize your tiny sucker in one — or all — of these profiles (adapted from the AAP’s Your Baby’s First Year and the original Yale study).

The book cited above can be found here.
When I had my son, the hospital gave us a copy of Your Baby's First Year which I found to be a helpful reference for any questions I had.
AAP (american academy of pediatrics) puts out a book called "your baby's first year", It's on it's 4th edition. It has a chapter on feeding and includes breastfeeding and formula feeding. It is very comprehensive, all research based, no judgment and a good jumping off points for all your questions.
It's also rather inexpensive: https://www.amazon.com/Your-Babys-First-Year-Fourth/dp/0812988450/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=K0HQVZ04ASX6W333FGV6
