Wondered what proper breastfeeding should look (and sound) like?
Pregnant women and new mothers should check out these great videos: especially the Good Drinking vs Nibbling; Assisted Latching (getting the baby onto the boob – harder than you think!!) and The difference a good latch makes. Very hard to explain, but once you see it, you’ll know.

Nutritional supplements during breastfeeding
Aside from the usual vitamin deficiencies in their normal diet, pregnant and lactating mothers generally don’t get enough of these:

  1. DHA
  2. Iodine
  3. Acidophilus

And for a more controversial topic, Is breastfeeding not all it’s cracked up to be?
