Breastfeeding Support

Believe it or not, breastfeeding can be difficult and doesn’t always come naturally to every mother and baby. If you find yourself struggling to breastfeed or fear that your baby isn’t being properly nourished, you should speak with your care provider and seek breastfeeding support right away. With help from a compassionate and knowledgeable lactation consultant you can learn to successfully breastfeed your baby. See the Spokane La Leche League‘s web site for more information.
