Free Breastfeeding Support

  Thank you for breastfeeding your baby...

Breastmilk is the best nutrition you can offer your baby, period.  Breastfeeding offers many benefits not only for your baby, but for you as a mother, too.

One of the biggest reasons a mother stops breastfeeding is because she does not have access to support and information.  Don't let that be you.

That's where Motherhood Naturally comes in to help.  Free breastfeeding support is available to any mother who has questions or needs support, either over the phone or via e-mail.  I can also arrange a visit to the local area to help with a specific problem, but depending upon your location may have to charge a small fee to cover travel expenses.

If you have a problem I am not qualified to help fix, I have a database of people who can.

All cause neonatal mortality could be reduced by 16.3% if all infants initiated breastfeeding on day one of life, and 22.3% if initiation took place within THE FIRST HOUR. The risk of neonatal death is increased FOURFOLD if milk-based fluids or solids are provided to breastfed neonates. [Delayed Breastfeeding Initiation Increases Risk of Neonatal Mortality, Pediatrics 2006]

If your baby is exhibiting the following signs, call your doctor immediately:

  • Weak, sick or lethargic

  • Not wetting 6-8 diapers per day

  • Sleeping an unusual amount of time

  • Dark yellow urine

  • Mouth and lips are dry

  • Soft spot on the top of the head is sunk in

These are signs of dehydration.  Call your doctor!
