Why Breastfeed?
There is nothing more healthy and natural for your baby than breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding helps lay the foundations of a healthy life for a baby and also makes a positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of mothers.
How to breastfeed?
Successful breastfeeding takes time, patience and practice. Correct positioning and attachment are essential.
