About Lactation Support
Lactation support helps mothers breastfeed successfully. Breast milk protects babies against infections and supports growth, and early guidance on latch and positioning prevents many problems.
Seek help for severe nipple pain, a baby who is not feeding well or gaining weight, or a red, hot breast with fever. Most mothers can produce enough milk with the right support.
