Breastfeeding is the absolute best start for your baby.
Nutritionally and emotionally it is everything your baby
needs. There are many advantages to breastfeeding for both
mother and baby that do not begin to compare with
formula-feeding. The American Academy of Pediatrics
(AAP) recommends babies be exclusively breastfed for the
first 6 months. Thereafter it recommends breastfeeding for
at least the 1st year and beyond as long as mutually desired
by mother and baby. The World Health Organization
(WHO) recommends breastfeeding for at least 2 years and
beyond.
Mothers who choose to breastfeed have wonderful support
available to them. Our community is full of moms' groups,
breastfeeding support meetings, and lactation counselors!
On this page you'll find links to many of these wonderful
resources.
As a Certified Lactation Counselor I'm available to answers
many of the common question and concerns new and
pregnant mamas have about breastfeeding. I can meet with
you prenatally for a private or group breastfeeding class.
I'm also available to meet with you after your baby is born
to observe latch and position and support you with
breastfeeding.
