What and how you feed your children is one of the most personal issues facing new parents.  
Therefore, it is important to educate yourself on the options available to you and your infant(s).  
The resources below can help you make an informed decision regarding your infant's early nutrition
and long-term health.  Share this information with your partner and be sure to include your intended
approach to infant feeding in the discussion of your overall parenting goals, and with your child's
pediatrician.

HHH Philosophy on Breastfeeding
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and World Health Organization (WHO) recommend
infants receive human breast milk exclusively for the first six-months of life, and continue to receive
human breast milk to one year of age.  The immunological, nutritive, and physiological benefits of
human breast milk are invaluable to both infant and mother during the postpartum period and beyond
and are unmatched by current infant formula.  

HHH agrees with and supports the AAP and WHO recommendations, but recognizes breastfeeding
can be difficult for many women, particularly during the postpartum period.  I am here to help you
navigate the world of breastfeeding; however, my primary objective is to support you and your family
during the postpartum transition, regardless of if or how long you choose to breastfeed.
