	Nurse as Soon as Possible Most newborns can nurse within minutes of birth
	Positioning and Latch On A baby that latches on well nurses well
	Room In Mother and baby should room in together
	No Artificial Nipples Avoid nipple confusion

	Helpers at Home Enlist friends and family to help
	If Something is Wrong, Get Help Nursing should not be painful
