Mastitis is perhaps the most distressing problem you may encounter when attempting to breastfeed. You have been making it through the sleepless nights, the relentless feeding schedule, the diapers, the leaking... when all of a sudden you want to stop breastfeeding. Why?
You may be wondering... is breastfeeding important? YES! Breastfeeding helps protect and nurture your baby in many ways! There have been many studies that show breastfeeding your baby for as little as six weeks can increase brainpower and reduce the risk of obesity. Breastfeeding is also very good for mothers too!
