If you're pregnant, or are planning to try in the near future, you've likely thought about whether you plan to breastfeed your baby. It's not a one-size-fits-all choice, but if you do go that route, these resources will help guide you.

Weighing the Pros and Cons
While there are many positive aspects to breastfeeding, there can be some downsides, too. It's important to consider all aspects so you can make the right decision for your family.

The Benefits of Breastfeeding
Your body is designed to create the perfect source of nutrition for your baby -- a combination of protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals that adjust as he or she grows.

Dealing with Breastfeeding Problems
Breastfeeding isn't always easy. It can be painful for you, and your baby can become frustrated. Here's how to deal with some common problems.

Is Your Baby Getting Enough Milk?
With bottles, it's easy to measure the exact amount of milk your baby is consuming. But while there isn't a clear visual measurement with breastfeeding, there are signs you can look for to indicate that your baby is well-fed.
