Abstract
Skilled anticipatory guidance and positive support are critical to the maintenance of lactation. When physicians have a good understanding of common breastfeeding issues, they can help foster a growing, healthy newborn and infant and a mother who is comfortable and confident with breastfeeding. Issues common to breastfeeding maintenance in the newborn and infant are addressed in this chapter.
