National Breastfeeding Month

On this week's 51%, we recognize National Breastfeeding Month. We learn from lactation consultant Cara Banks about what new moms should know as they navigate breastfeeding, and how they can adjust if it doesn't come easily. Our associate producer, Jody Cowan also speaks with singer-songwriter Girl Blue about her new song, and how she balances music with motherhood.
