MYTH: “I’m not making enough milk.” 

FACT: Most mothers produce enough milk. Frequent nursing helps build milk supply. 

 

MYTH: “Formula and breast milk are exactly the same.” 

FACT: Formula provides nutrition, while breast milk also contains antibodies and other protective components that support a baby’s immune system. 

 

MYTH: “I have to stop breastfeeding when I go back to work or school.” 

FACT: Many families continue breastfeeding by pumping and safely storing breast milk. Our team can help families develop a plan that fits their needs.
