Breastfeeding Basics: A Google Hangout Hosted by Parenting Magazine and Me!

Recently I had the amazing opportunity to host a live Pregnancy Magazine Google Hangout about breastfeeding alongside other experts like Leslie Schilling, MA, RD, LDN and Margarita Marasigan, RN, CCE.  We talked about why breastfeeding is so important, why you should breastfeed and guidelines for how long to keep at it. We also shared challenges and successes that we as moms experienced in order to better prepare and support other new moms that are looking to breastfeed.
