Breastfeeding: a natural function just like birth; something we should just “know” how to do.  Unfortunately, in our modern society the normal familial and societal supports are often missing for new mothers.

Studies have shown that successful early breastfeeding is one of the best indicators for continued breastfeeding through the entire first year and beyond.

Early support and intervention is the best way to ensure an enjoyable long term breastfeeding experience.  A professional Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) can observe and instruct new moms in the earliest days of nursing, and prevent or correct many of the problems that may cause mothers to give up nursing their babies.
