Breastfeeding can be quite challenging especially during the first weeks after baby’s birth, but it is a skill that can be learned with patience and perseverance. The benefits of breastfeeding are countless for both baby and mother that is why our medical team provides support for breastfeeding mothers. Around 6 months old, the baby is ready for weaning. This can be quite a pleasant experience for both the baby and the caregiver, when food is offered adequately for the baby and the mother is less stressed. If you encounter breastfeeding or weaning difficulties, you can confidently ask a question to our dear colleague, Mădălina Costache, MD, pediatrician, IBCLC lactation consultant and mother of two children.
