Do you feel overwhelmed and unable to cope with the emotional stresses of breastfeeding? Breastfeeding is a beautiful bond between a mom and a baby.

Prolactin stimulates milk within the breast, and oxytocin contracts the cells that surround the alveoli, causing the milk to letdown into the ducts leading to the nipple. This task can be difficult when our minds are racing with so much to do.
