Maternar: From free consultation to the virtual wheel; Check out the schedule for World Breastfeeding Week

The chances of breastfeeding working increase when the search for information occurs before the baby is born and, after birth, he is placed in skin-to-skin contact with the mother.

Other than that, the presence of family and friends offering listening and emotional support [e prático, principalmente] for the newly born mother also increases breastfeeding success, according to the WHO.

It is also possible to seek free help at milk banks, health centers or, in particular, from breastfeeding consultants.

This year, World Breastfeeding Week focuses on education and support. And to celebrate the date, several free activities will be offered for those who want to learn more. Check the schedule:
