Some Help Please!

I know tons and tons and tons of information on breastfeeding and breast milk and the benefits. I am trying to make a pamphlet that will be passed out to expectant parents or parents who are having a second, third or forth (...) and want to get some more information about how to be successful with breastfeeding.

What I need from you readers is help. I have no idea what to put in there. There are hundreds of benefits to breastfeeding, literally, don't believe me check this out.http://www.promom.org
Click on the "101" at the top and just start reading.

As new parents or if you are planning to breastfeed or helping someone who is breastfeeding, what kind of quick tips do you want to know about breastfeeding?

Thanks for your help everyone.

  1. learn to sleep/nurse lying down.
    that when the baby starts to eat constantly thats it is no because you arent making enough milk but its a growth spurt and they are boosting your supply and supplementing will only make it worse.

  2. No artificial nipples until milk supply is firmly established and healthy breastfeeding relationship is established. Non-nutritive suckling is beneficial to both baby and mom, encourage the baby to suckle even if it is for non-nutritive purposes.
