It’s okay to dislike or even hate #breastfeeding. Many parents have instances or periods where they are frustrated by breastfeeding, whether by the needs of a newborn, an infant teething, or a squirmy toddler.
You aren’t alone and we are here to support you.
One important benefit of breastfeeding for the new baby, is that the baby at the breast picks up bacteria from the mother’s skin and in the milk.

Fussy baby? Colicky baby? Have you tried the Magic Baby hold?
Also called the "colic hold" or "grandma hold," this is a helpful calming technique for just about every well-fed but fussy baby we've met.
Remember: Nothing helps a baby who needs to nurse except more nursing.

The hormones produced during pregnancy prepare your breasts to make milk once your baby is born. The best preparation is accurate information and people who can provide support and encouragement.

With a little planning you can enjoy traveling with your baby this summer. Plan for extra time. Take lots of water and snacks. Keep your baby close in a baby carrier. Stops along the way make the journey part of the fun
