Most people know that breastmilk is best for baby.
It is extremely rare that a mother cannot breastfeed her baby, but she may have concerns that keep her from even trying. If you have a question you would like answered, e-mail Heather McBriarty with it. Breastfeeding has many benefits for your baby. Some of the major advantages are that it is rich in easily digested nutrients and helps protect baby against infections, colds, viruses, and allergies. Baby's diapers don't smell as bad, breastmilk doesn't stain clothing, and baby won't be as gassy.
