Breastfeeding: What Do You Need to Know?

More than any other part of having a baby, new moms always have a million questions about breastfeeding. How long should I breast feed? Is it OK to supplement with formula? What do I do if the baby won’t feed? What local resources are available to me?

The benefits of breastfeeding are numerous, from better nutrition for your baby to a stronger immune system throughout your baby’s life. So it’s important that new mothers get the facts and get the support they need.
