Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Breastfeeding can often come with its own unique challenges, one that we don’t believe mothers should have to go through alone. Whether you’re looking to prevent breastfeeding problems from the get-go or have challenges now as a new mom, know that our Pleasanton and San Ramon, CA, pediatricians at TRI-Valley Pediatrics provide lactation consultations to support moms and their babies.

What are the Benefits of Breastfeeding? 

We will support you and your baby however you choose to provide them with nutrients, whether that’s through breastfeeding or bottle feeding. Of course, there are unique benefits to breastfeeding that can support both you and your newborn. Along with the bonding experience that nursing can offer, breast milk provides your baby with all the vital nutrients they need to grow and stay healthy. It can also support a healthy immune system, which your baby is still developing. It can also help moms lose weight faster post-pregnancy.
