Breastfeeding Resources & Links

Breastfeeding Handout: The Georgia Physician Breastfeeding Advisory Committee (PBAC) is a collaborative effort among Family Physicians, OB/GYNs, Pediatricians, and lactation experts to promote breastfeeding in the state.  We have developed a patient handout, which you are encouraged to copy and distribute, to assist our patients in initiating breastfeeding successfully and continuing to nurse for a significant time period. You can access the handout by visiting: http://www.gaaap.org/duringpregnancyhandout.pdf
