Women's Health Breastfeeding

Although breastfeeding is a natural behavior between mother and child, it may raise some anxiety for new mothers. Moms worry about techniques, feeding times and their baby’s responses –- which is also completely natural!

Expectant moms are encouraged to bring their partner or support person so they may learn how to be helpful during the breastfeeding learning process .
