Breast milk is the ideal food for newborns and is filled with all of the nutrients, antibodies and enzymes baby needs to grow. Not only does breastfeeding create a super immune system for baby, it also helps with bonding and reduces the risk for health risks in both baby and mom.
Breastfeeding your newborn is a very special experience, but because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s easy. Learning how to breastfeed is like learning any other new skill – it takes time, practice and patience. However, the rewards of breastfeeding far outweigh its challenges.
