1. Will I be able to breastfeed?

Thursday, 20 October 2011

It is a myth that babies with Down's syndrome cannot breastfeed. Many babies with Down's syndrome are now breastfed. Sometimes breastfeeding is established easily with no more problems than with any other baby. Sometimes breastfeeding a baby with Down's syndrome can be harder and needs more time, patience and perserverance. Sometimes mothers choose not to breastfeed or find that because of their circumstances breastfeeding is not right for them.
