Some women expect breastfeeding to be easy, but then find themselves faced with challenges. Many women stop breastfeeding after just two weeks for this very reason. If you are experiencing breastfeeding challenges, please contact the following resources. Remember: breastfed babies are healthier, breastfeeding moms are healthier, and breastfeeding may lead to a higher IQ!
