π€±π½π AUGUST IS NATIONAL BREASTFEEDING MONTH! ππ€±π½
This month, LHOH recognizes National Breastfeeding Month by celebrating and supporting our moms as they prepare to make important decisions for themselves and their babies. π
Breastfeeding has many benefits for both mom and baby; however, every mother and every pregnancy is different. What works best for one family may not be what is best for another and that is okay.
As you prepare for your baby's arrival, we encourage you to talk with your doctor or healthcare provider about breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Together, you can discuss your health, your baby's needs, medications, personal circumstances, and other factors to determine the safest and most beneficial feeding option for you and your baby.
π€±π½ Ask questions.
πΌ Learn about your options.
π Make an informed decision with your healthcare team.
πΈ And most importantly give yourself grace along the way.
At LHOH, there is no judgment and no one-size-fits-all approach. Our goal is to make sure every mom feels educated, supported, heard, and empowered to make the decision that is best for her family.
Healthy Mom. Healthy Baby. Informed Choices. Supported Families. π
