The Breastfeeding Package
Is breastfeeding extremely important to you? I'm sure you have heard that breastfeeding can be challenging and that women and babies often need support in establishing a successful breastfeeding relationship. Then this is the package for you, especially if you want to avoid some of the common difficulties from the very beginning. This package includes:
-Different ways to hold the baby
-Positioning the baby at the breast
-Getting a good latch
-Learning to identify the difference between sucking and drinking
-Learning breast compression
-Setting up nursing stations around your house
-Integrating nursing time as a special time with your older children as well
I have helped over 100 women and 100 babies nurse. I know about normal breastfeeding and can help you avoid the common problems that lead to both physically painful and emotionally painful crises for many new moms. One of my goals with the breastfeeding package is to hold the space for you and your baby to make breastfeeding something that you both love to do.
