“While breastfeeding is a perfectly natural process, it may not always feel that way. However, the breastfeeding relationship is a journey that will be well worth the effort.  Here at Kaiser Permanente, we strive to make this journey as smooth as possible for you and your baby with a variety of resources every step of the way.”

– Kimberly Klein, M.D. – Pediatrician – Walnut Creek Medical Center
