In this webinar, Linda Smith, MPH, IBCLC, FACCE, FILCA discusses how a mother’s confidence and trust in her ability to birth directly affects her confidence in her ability to breastfeed.
For breastfeeding to succeed, the baby must emerge from birth able to feed; the mother must be able and willing to let her baby feed; lactogenesis must proceed normally; breastfeeding must be comfortable for both, and the surroundings must support the mother and baby as mutual caregivers, an “inseparable biological and social unit” during the baby’s early days and weeks.
