	Leah Kobrossi-Vladar As instinctive as we think it ought to be, breastfeeding is also a learned skill. Some dyads need little to no guidance and have an easy time from the start. However, most breastfeeding couples would benefit from experienced hands and evidence-based advice. I use a hands-off approach, helping the mother find her own instincts and gain self-confidence.

	Avrael Perreault It can sometimes take time to establish comfortable, pain-free, and confident breastfeeding, but it is so worth working through the challenges.

	Amy Mattes Approaching breastfeeding after your baby's first few days can be daunting. Tackling any problems and bolstering your confidence can help balance your family dynamic.

	Emerald Appleby, CD(DONA) Sometimes breastfeeding isn't as easy as it looks on TV! Every mother/infant relationship is unique, and so has their own unique challenges.

Greater Victoria and Westshore
	Terry Lyon Becoming a mother is one of the greatest gifts that life brings to us. Discovering our new identity can come with challenges, but trusting in our bodies and instincts to care for and nourish our babies is what will help guide us through. It's also critical to reach out for support from the many resources in our community as this time of transition is not something Mother Nature intended for us to do alone.
