Mother's milk is nature’s gift for the baby. Many a mother has been distressed by her newborn’s cries. She worries endlessly about what makes her child cry – when is the baby in pain or when it is just hunger that makes him wail. Such concerns regarding her infant’s hunger are very delicate issues, especially for a first-time mother.
While earlier a new mother could get useful insights and tips on breastfeeding and childcare from other mothers around them, today she relies upon self-help books and learning from their own experience.

However, actual advice and right guidance on – the right position to hold the baby while breastfeeding; how to know the baby has been fully fed; how to feed the baby and breastfeeding advice for both normal and cesarean births, etc. is very important to the new mother.
