Keep in mind that breastfeeding your baby is a learned skill. It takes patience and practice. For some women, learning to breastfeed can be frustrating and uncomfortable. It may also seem more difficult, especially if your baby was born early or you have certain health problems. The good news is that it will get easier, and support for breastfeeding mothers is available.
Even if you have decided not to breastfeed, or you are medically unable to do so, our providers want to help you with questions regarding preparation of formula, baby care and most importantly, support for your family!
