Breastfeeding is one of the best things you can do to give your baby a healthy start. Breast milk has all the nutrients your baby needs, and breastfed babies are less likely to have health problems like ear infections. It is best to give your baby only breast milk for the first six months.

For help with breastfeeding, call your hospital, doctor, WIC office or see if a La Leche League group is in your area.

You can breastfeed and work! Take a look at this resource to help answer questions about how to continue breastfeeding when you return to work.
