Each Tips Page begins by explaining a common breastfeeding problem and tries to understand Where it is coming from? Often the solution is in finding the cause of the problem. Then I give some Tips that have worked for me and my friends. I always offer natural solutions first. But of course before trying anything it is a good idea to talk with a Lactation Consultant to make sure it is an appropriate solution for you.

"Breastfeeding is an unsentimental metaphor for how love works, in a way.
You don't decide how much and how deeply to love
you respond to the beloved, and give with joy exactly as much as they want."
Marni Jackson
