Start of breastfeeding

A few questions about the first day or two of breastfeeding:

1. Is it normal to have a really hard time expressing any colostrum right after baby is born? I try to hand express the way the lactation consultants have shown me but nothing comes out.

2. How many times should a brand new newborn feed in the first 24 hours? They just seem so sleepy that first day! Is it normal for them to just want to sleep instead of eat?
