There are many reasons, both for mom and for baby, to breastfeed. Breastfeeding, however, can be tricky to master. Get breastfeeding tips, breastfeeding advice, learn how to get a good start to breastfeeding, find out about increasing breast milk, and more.
Salma Hayek made news last week when she was quoted in an interview
that she was like “an alcoholic” when it comes to nursing her daughter,

Ready for another positive effect of breastfeeding? A UK study has found
that 10-year-old children who had been breastfed for at least four months had
enhanced lung volume.
The world has lost a remarkable woman: Betty Wagner
Spandikow, one of the founders of La Leche League International. In 1956, she
and six others founded a breastfeeding support organization that grew from one
town in Illinois
to now circle the globe.

On day two of nursing my newborn son, I was sore, tired, and pretty
much done. I cried to my husband, "I can't do this anymore." He said,
"Yes, you can," and that was pretty much all I needed to continue. It hasn't always been the beautiful, soft-focus moment of Angelina on the cover of W magazine (although it is a beautiful photo), but it is something I have stuck with for several reasons.
Last week I wrote about the jackals of the press
hyperventilating about stolen picture
of Jamie Lynn Spears breastfeeding her daughter. This week in celeb news, it’s
all about Angelina Jolie, her partially exposed breast, and a tiny hand. Why are pictures of breastfeeding so upsetting?
