Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Breastfeeding, But Didn't Know Who To Ask.
Welcome to Breastfeeding Basics
Why does something as natural as nursing your baby have to be so...complicated?
Relax. You've come to the right place for answers you're looking for.
I'm Anne, and I can help. I'm an IBCLC and the mom of six (almost) perfect kids, and I've been helping moms reach their breastfeeding goals for over 25 years.
If you want to know more about me, see my profile.
Increasing Your Milk Supply
The "perception" of insufficient breastmilk production is the most common reason mothers give for weaning.
Weaning Your Baby
Weaning your baby is part of the natural breastfeeding experience. It doesn't have to be a time of unhappiness for you or your baby.
Nutrition, Weight loss and Excercise
Begin your weight loss program slowly when breastfeeding. Increase your activity level and eat less fat, sugar and more fruits/vegetables.
Breast Infections & Plugged Ducts
Some mothers never experience plugged ducts or mastitis, while others have recurrent problems.
