Breast is Best



Breastfeeding is the best form of feeding your newborn baby, especially in the first few days of your baby's life. It provides your baby with antibodies that are important for the development of their immune system. As natural of a process it is, it does not always come as naturally to all new moms. I will not forget being told by a nurse one time that we can read books and do research on breastfeeding, but our babies are not given a manual on this. It can also be frustrating for them at first until they get the hang of it too. Be patient. Listen to what helpful tips this lactation specialist has to help us new moms through the sometimes rocky start we may have with breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is not for everyone, but it's worth the effort. Formula can be very expensive and breast milk is FREE. Besides, who really wants to get up through the night to make formula when you baby is screaming and hungry. Not me. Enjoy.
