Celebrate National Breastfeeding Month and Black Breastfeeding Week with answers to breastfeeding basics

Breastfeeding is a naturally healthy option for providing nourishment to your baby. Among breastfeeding’s many benefits, breast milk contains optimal nutrition and gives an immune system boost to your baby. It also lowers long-term disease risk for both you and your child. Because of those and many other reasons, we encourage all new moms to breastfeed, if possible.
