"I heard that ‘breast is best’ - but... Why? How? How long? And... How do you stop? You’ve got enough going on - preparing for or living with a new baby or toddler... " Don’t worry, we’ve got you!

• Can I prepare before the birth?
• Blocked duct? Thrush? Bleeding? Cracking?
• What if I didn’t start right away?
• What if the birthing parent is not available?
• I’m going back to work...
• My partner wants to feed the baby.
• When should I stop? HOW do you stop?
• Do I have to stop?
• What is this oxytocin? And what if I don’t feel it?
• I didn’t nurse my first child.
