Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it always comes naturally. Before the arrival of your little one, it helps to prepare and gather information on practical tips for getting breastfeeding off to a good start. Next month, in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week, select Babies R Us stores in conjunction with Lamaze educators from around the U.S. will host the free event, “Nursing Basics for New Moms” on August 4 from 12 p.m. – 3 p.m. The event will answer basic “how-to” questions, provide informational handouts and give moms access to experienced Lamaze educators who really know their stuff!
Contact your nearest Babies R Us store to find out if they are participating.
Ask our resident obstetrical expert, Henci Goer, any question you have about conception, pregnancy, birth, and newborns. 





It’s good to see Babies R Us stepping forward like this. The more women can be educated on breast feeding the better the experience is for them and their child. I hope they’ll also focus on a women’s diet during this time as what she takes in is passed on to her child.
