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.

To help you with this important decision please read the following:

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.
