What can I do to support breastfeeding?

A new young mother gets encouragement from her mom while breastfeeding her infant daughter

Support breastfeeding by:

  • Giving positive acknowledgement when you see someone breastfeeding.
  • Learning about breastfeeding and using the information to dispel myths and misconceptions.
  • Finding out about breastfeeding resources in your community and sharing the information with expectant parents.
  • Helping a breastfeeding family – provide dinner one night, offer to run errands, watch baby for an hour while mother rests etc.
