Congratulations on the birth of your baby! We know what an exciting and hectic time this can be, filled
with many, many choices to make...including whether to breastfeed.The American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations on breastfeeding include: 

• Breast milk is the preferred feeding for all infants, including premature and sick newborns, with only
  rare exceptions.
• Breastfeeding should begin as soon as possible after birth.
• Newborns should nurse whenever they show signs of hunger.
• Exclusive breastfeeding for six months is best for the baby’s health.

We’ve developed this informational guide for you in order to answer some of the most common questions about breastfeeding. Should you have additional questions, your medical practitioner, lactation consultant and birth hospital can be good sources for information.

This breastfeeding guide is not meant to be a sole source for information on breastfeeding or to replace the instructions given to you by your healthcare providers. Our goal is to offer a general overview of breastfeeding and some of the related issues.Your healthcare providers are the best sources for breastfeeding information, as they know you and your baby’s unique needs the best.
