Tips for Breastfeeding Success
Breastfeeding comes naturally to some new moms, while others struggle with the process and may even give up on trying.

What are some tips for new moms to feel at ease nursing their little ones?

Dia Michels, author of Milk, Money & Madness: The Culture and Politics of Breastfeeding and Breastfeeding Facts for Fathers, joins Dr. Susanne to explain why she's such an advocate for breastfeeding, as well as why it's so important to raise awareness about the "normality" of nursing and to have the support of those around you.
