Like other mammal babies, it is natural for a human baby to be breastfed, but many people in the UK have lost confidence and skills in breastfeeding.
It is a body skill, like learning to swim or drive, so takes time to learn! In a few weeks, you will develop your skills! The close, loving relationship between parent/carer and baby usually begins to develop before birth and is helped immediately afterwards by skin-to-skin contact, however you feed your baby.
