If your maternity patients go to Google for medical information, a customized patient education program could remove any gaps.

As you know, there’s a lot of confusing and false information out there about breastfeeding. Whether you call them old wives’ tales, fables, or myths, you probably hear them repeated (or questioned) by parents-to-be all the time.

This comfortable, low-key breastfeeding position is a great option for new parents who may be tired and sore from childbirth, have a tender cesarean or episiotomy incision, or experience shoulder or back pain.
