Babies: Breastfeeding

Relax and eat well. If your diet is not the best,that's still ok.

Ask your doctor to be sure. Many medicines are safe to take while nursing.

Try to quit. However, it is better to breastfeed than to bottlefeed if you smoke.

It is best not to drink. See your health care professional for more information.

Do not breastfeed.

Well, you have four choices:

1. Make time to go to the caregiver to breastfeed.
2. Pump your breastmilk and have the caregiver give breastmilk when you are not available.
3. Continue to breastfeed when you are with your baby.
4. Have the caregiver offer iron-fortified formula when you are not available.
