Breastfeeding Basics
Moms have been breastfeeding babies for centuries. Women's bodies were made to feed their babies. And while millions of 
women have done it, breastfeeding a newborn can be intimidating for some new moms.
The lactation team at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is here to support you.
