Breastfeeding Problem Solving-Dr. Rosner
Many pregnant women are interested in breastfeeding their soon-to-be-born babies, but as the realities of mothering a newborn develop, they become discouraged by the problems they begin to encounter. The purpose of this article is to delineate some common issues that may come up in order to be able to deal with them proactively, before they lead to the mother becoming frustrated to the point that she is ready to give up on breastfeeding entirely. As there are no diagrams, it is meant to educate on some key points but does not replace consulting a more extensive book on the subject or a real live lactation consultant for more explicit instructions.
