It's World Breastfeeding Week
Robin Frees, director of Newborn Concepts in Malvern, explains the benefits.
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization recommend exclusively breastfeeding a baby for the first six months or his or her life. Still, many mothers breastfeed (and mix in some solid foods) into the baby's second year of life and fewer continue into the child's third year of life.
In these videos, lactation consultant Robin Frees explains some of the benefits of breastfeeding and how long it is recommended that they breastfeed.
Frees holds walk-in consultation hours on Monday mornings at in Wayne. She is director of Newborn Concepts in Malvern.
