Though breastfeeding is natural, the technique is a learned skill and it may take time and patience for you and your baby to master it. As you become more practised, breastfeeding will become easier and more pleasurable.

The following hints can help you to avoid breastfeeding problems. But always keep in mind: These tips cannot replace expert help and do not cover any situation that might occur. Do not hesitate to ask your lactation specialist if you experience breastfeeding problems or if you have ongoing questions.
