Were you given a set of guidelines by nurses or lactation professionals that felt like rules? Did you ever need to stray from those guidelines in order to do what was best for your individual situation?

• Finding support during pregnancy
• Setting goals (and adjusting them)
• Creating a support system
• Discussing baby feeding with family members
• Breastfeeding toddlers
• Managing oversupply
• Mastitis
• Exercising while breastfeeding
• Lying on the floor in the grocery store to breastfeed a picky baby!
