Breastfeeding is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your baby.

Breast milk is the most complete form of nutrition for infants and contains antibodies to protect babies from illness. Plus, it is always available and inexpensive! Mothers who breastfeed lose pregnancy weight easier and have a lower risk of breast cancer.

FamilyCare has many resources to help with breastfeeding. Contact Debi Ellis at (304) 757-4845 or Debi.Ellis@familycarewv.org
