Breastfeeding Support
You are not alone...
You can give your baby one of the greatest gifts possible by making the decision to breastfeed.
Relatively minor ailments, such as ear infections and gastrointestinal problems, are less common among breastfed children, but so are long-term, potentially dangerous conditions, such as obesity and some childhood cancers.
