- the basics of breastfeeding, including how long a baby should breastfeed, how to pump and store breastmilk, and how to increasing a mother's supply of breastmilk
- formula feeding basics
- how to avoid food allergies
- what baby foods to start first
- how to introduce new baby foods
- which vitamins your baby needs
This chapter also discusses common feeding problems and avoiding bad habits, such as letting your baby drink too much juice or become a junk-food junkie.
