Jack Newman: Breastfeeding
If you are having difficulty breastfeeding, there are many places that you can get help, including your Pediatrician and/or Ob, a lactation consultant, breastfeeding support groups and the Internet. Breastfeeding can be difficult and you should not hesitate to get help if you need it. Keep in mind that not all health care professionals are supportive of breastfeeding. If your doctor can't help you to effectively breastfeed your infant, then look for a certified lactation consultant in your area.
