Lauryl Ramakrishnan, a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Lactation Consultant in Pediatric Primary Care and Lactation Medicine at Cambridge Health Alliance gives us her insights into helping new mothers successfully nurture their babies, in that way building their self-confidence, their feelings of comfort and safety, and ultimately strengthening the mother-infant bond.
