Newborn Care: Breastfeeding, 3:48 minutes

Breastfeeding is the best source of food for most babies during the first year of life. Studies show that children who are breastfed have fewer ear infections, lower respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections than children who receive formula. In this video, Dr. Siobhan Dolan visits with a new mom to give her helpful tips on breastfeeding. “Newborn Care, Breastfeeding” is part of the Healthy Pregnancy, Healthy Baby video series.
