Breastfeeding Support

Why Should I Breastfeed?

Breast milk is the perfect beginning for your baby, as it:

  • Has just the right amount of proteins, fats, vitamins and carbohydrates

  • Creates a close emotional bond between you and your newborn

  • Helps keep your baby from getting sick

  • Lessens the chance of your child becoming overweight

  • Lowers your baby’s risk of asthma, allergies and sudden death infant syndrome (SIDS)We’re Here to Help Ensure Your Success with Breastfeeding
