Breastfeeding
Any questions, we want you to call or email. Please! Your success at breastfeeding is very important to me and my staff, and we want to make sure we give you as much support as you need during the first, sometimes very difficult, days. So call, email, send smoke signals, whatever, but please get in touch with me or my staff when you have questions.

What's the latch
supposed to look like?
Nice animation of my favorite "chin-first" latch. You can ignore the commentary. Just notice how, if the chin hits the breast first, it works really well.
Lovely, lovely video to make your heart melt...
