It is widely accepted and backed by research that breastfeeding is the number one feeding choice for babies, and direct from mothers' breasts is the ideal. However the early days can be challenging. Supporting mothers to succeed with their breastfeeding journey is a rewarding role and being able to advise and guide on overcoming the various hurdles is great. Keeping up to date on the research and advancements in breastfeeding support is vital and a general knowledge of the solutions to help will be of huge benefit to the mothers you are working with. This article examines the problems and some tried and tested solutions.
