Birthing people have a long history of feeding their infants with milk from their body, a process which can be called, among other things, breastfeeding, chestfeeding, body feeding, and human milk feeding, and which will be referred to as breastfeeding and chestfeeding in these webpages.
Breastfeeding or chestfeeding is natural, but it is not always easy. Learning to feed your baby can take time, patience and practice, and every baby can be a different experience. Learn what to expect with breastfeeding or chestfeeding, build your confidence, and know where to find support.
