There is no single answer to the question of breastfeeding duration. Both breastmilk and formula are appropriate for your baby. How long or if you choose to breastfeed is up to you. The World Health Organization recommends six months of exclusive breastmilk for babies.
Our Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) will talk with you about your individual situation and expectations, and come up with a realistic plan that works for you and your family. We measure success and make plans for breastfeeding based on your expectations. Whether it be no breastfeeding, or you plan to breastfeed for 6 weeks, 6 months, a year and beyond, we will help you find a feeding plan that is right for you. Our CLC’s goal is to help you set and reach your goal.
