Breastfeeding for Beginners

You may be reading this booklet because you have decided to breastfeed or you are still trying to decide and want to know what is involved. In either case, this booklet can help you.

Breastfeeding gives your baby many health benefits. It also provides a special way to bond with your baby. The best thing you can do now is to read all about it and then decide if it’s right for you.
