Some women are concerned that they may not be able to provide enough milk for their babies. Others are worried that breastfeeding will be painful, hard to learn, or inconvenient.
You may have these or other concerns. Discuss any concerns about breastfeeding with a lactation consultant or healthcare provider. These people can tell you the facts and answer any questions you may have about breastfeeding.
