Breastfeeding Opinion Review

It's clear that mother's milk is best for babies AND for the breastfeeding family. It's also clear that feeding artifical milk is inferior.

La Leche League really helped me learn the art of breastfeeding. Occasionally we hear of women who had some trouble getting off to a successful start. We don't as often hear from the women whose babies latched right on and had no troubles. They are the majority, but people seem to more often share the hard times. That's just human nature.

While breastfeeding is completely natural, that doesn't always mean it comes naturally to every mother. Women can find information and support from a local La Leche League Leader (www.llli.org). I know that attending La Leche League meetings helped me get my first daughter off to a good start and the support continued with my second baby.
