Steps for Breastfeeding Success

Steps for Breastfeeding Success

Breastfeeding does not always come naturally or easily . These tips can help you succeed :

1

Be committed . If it is helpful , write down your reasons for breastfeeding to give you motivation . Seek out a lactation professional who can help you overcome obstacles . Support groups and clinics can also help .

2

Filter what you hear from others . Don ’ t let advice and comments about breastfeeding affect how or when you feed your baby . Many people will share their opinions , but only you can decide what is best .

3

Take one day at a time . You may have good days and struggle other days . Be patient , seek help if needed and know that it will get easier as you and baby both learn .
