Breastfeeding Your Baby

Choosing how to feed your baby is an important decision that has lifelong effects for your baby and for you. What you have seen and learned about infant feeding from your family, friends, and teachers is likely to influence your attitude and perceptions. Whether you definitely plan to breastfeed or you are still uncertain, the research is pretty clear. Your milk is the best milk for your baby, and it is the ideal first food for your baby's first several months.

 

Listed in the directory below is additional information about breastfeeding, for which we have provided a brief overview.

 

If you cannot find the information in which you are interested, please visit the Normal Newborn Online Resources page in this Web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.
