Although babies are born with the reflexes and instinct to breastfeed/chestfeed, you may have questions about breastfeeding/chestfeeding or require some assistance along the way.
Many individuals need help with breastfeeding/chestfeeding. You can get help from your health care provider, breastfeeding/chestfeeding support services like clinics and from peer support groups. 24 Hour telephone breastfeeding/chestfeed support is available from Telehealth (1-866-797-0000 or TTY 1-866-797-0007). Keep looking for the support you need!
