Breastfeeding Support Starts With Family!

Moms need support from everyone to make breastfeeding work- especially their family and friends.

This Dad’s Support Made a Big Difference

“I felt it was important to be there for her.  When there was a sleepless night, I helped to make it more comfortable-if she needed water, or a pillow or just having  me there…It felt good to be there for her.  [I] felt that I was taking on dad role.” -Jason/Tristan’s Dad

“Jason supported me 100%-If I hadn’t had his support and help with problems-I probably would not have continued.” -Jessica/baby Tristan, 18 months

Grandmothers and Friends Can Be Supportive Too!
