In the Spotlight

The Basics on Breastfeeding
Most everyone knows that breastfeeding has health benefits for mothers as well as for babies. But for first-time mothers, there can be a bit of a learning curve. Do you know proper breastfeeding technique? Do you know what to look for in a breast pump? Did you know that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer?

Is Breastfeeding Safe for Mothers with Chronic Illness?
It is generally accepted that breastfeeding is beneficial to the baby as well as to the mother. But what about for women who are living with other serious medical conditions such as HIV, hepatitis and herpes? Are there risks to breastfeeding while living with other illnesses?

Breastfeeding and Sexuality
Women have long shared stories about how breastfeeding can change a woman's sex life, but unfortunately researchers have been slow to investigate the specifics. In fact, a study conducted in 2000 was the very first to focus solely on this important topic. What researchers discovered is that there are very few generalizations that can be made about the impact of breastfeeding on a woman's sexuality.
