Breastfeeding
help in
Mothers have many questions about
breastfeeding and what to expect the first several weeks.
Breastfeeding is a learned art and skill, unique to every mother and
baby. Breastfeeding help is available when, for some of us, this
skill does not come easy at first.
It is normal for the breastfeeding
relationship to take from 2-4 weeks to establish. Some mothers
give up during this postpartum period when they are in pain, they are
having difficulties with latch on, feel sleep deprived, confused,
overwhelmed and alone.
