One of the most important choices you will need to make as new parents is whether to
breastfeed or bottle-feed your baby. While the benefits of breastfeeding for
both mother and baby are quite clear, the choice to breastfeed, as well as
breastfeeding success requires knowledge and support. A clear understanding of
how the process works and knowledge of how to manage problems that may occur are
helpful. However, encouragement and support seem to be the key to success.
Breastfeeding is the most precious gift a mother can give to her baby. No woman
is born knowing how to breastfeed, and it is not a reflex that develops; she
must learn. And as breastfeeding is initiated, questions and problems may arise.
The Breastfeeding Center is a basic website guide for both pregnant women who
are trying to make this important decision and currently breastfeeding mothers
who have questions.
Our goal
is to:
-
Help pregnant women make the choice that is right for them.
-
Provide information that will be important when your baby arrives.
-
Answer questions you might have as you grow to become a proud
breastfeeding mother
-
Offer support and guidance during the difficult times.

As with most breastfeeding information websites, this website only provides you
with the most basic and popular knowledge. The information you find on these pages should
never be taken over the advice of your doctor, nurse, or lactation consultant.
They are professionals and have a more personal relationship with you. That is a
key element necessary in order to make an enjoyable success of breastfeeding for
both you and baby.
