Webinar: Mitigating Common Breastfeeding Challenges
Breastfeeding may seem like the most natural thing ever for moms and their newborns. After all, all mammals do it, and always have.
But many new parents are surprised at how hard it can be. Lots of things can go wrong, and these challenges can make breastfeeding frustrating, painful, even seemingly impossible. In this webinar, Dr. Jeannette T. Crenshaw showed us a variety of hurdles and explains how home visitors and other perinatal health workers can help families surmount them.
