Breastfeeding - Who should I ask if I have questions about breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding is the natural way to feed your newborn. Still, you may need time to practice it. Like all aspects of motherhood, you'll learn through experience, and not through instinct. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice from health professionals or experienced friends and relatives.

Your doctor or midwife can counsel you about the principles and practice of breastfeeding.
