PREPARING FOR BREASTFEEDING

Review the benefits of breastfeeding and learn about proper latching and positioning of the baby at breast to ensure a good milk supply and maximum comfort for the mom. Identify and know ways to manage common challenges of the early days of nursing, and when to get help. Get tips on pumping, storing, and feeding breast milk for relief breaks or going back to work.
