It's #NationalBreastfeedingMonth and #WorldBreastfeedingWeek! Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months of life, with continued breastfeeding along with solids for one year or as long as desired. Even though breastfeeding is natural, it can still be challenging. Here are some of the common problems and ways to resolve them.
"A proper latch can be tricky to nail down at first, but it’s key to ramping up your milk production and keeping baby well-fed. Your baby needs a good latch to encompass both the nipple and the areola (the dark area surrounding the nipple), so that the milk ducts underneath the areola are compressed to begin milk flow. When baby is latched on correctly, you’ll know it: baby's chin and tip of her nose are touching your breast, her lips are flanged out (like a fish) instead of being tucked in and she falls right into the rhythmic suck-swallow-breath pattern of suckling."

Do you have a child starting kindergarten this year? Starting school can be both exciting and scary for many young children. Here are some tips on how you can prepare your child for this new transition and some books to read with them that will help make the experience a positive one!
"Make sure you and your child know the routine for before- and after-school care if that applies. Discuss where he/she will go, how he/she will get between school and child care, how he/she will get home, etc. Have a back-up plan for what to do in case you are late. You probably had a plan for your current early childhood center, but be sure that your emergency pick-up people know where the new school or after-school program is located and what the pick-up routine is there. Better to prepare ahead of time than wait for an emergency."
