Breast-feeding (nursing) allows a new mother to feed her infant directly from her breasts. Ideally, an infant will nurse and get milk directly from the mother’s nipple but, when that is not possible, milk can be expressed (pumped) from the breast and fed to the infant in a bottle. Breast-feeding provides an infant with essential vitamins, protein and fat, as well as antibodies that help the immune system fight off bacteria and viruses. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), if physically possible, women should exclusively breast-feed their infants for at least the first 6 months of life.

"Dr. Arcara is wonderful! I have gone to her for 15 years and she performed an emergency hysterectomy and did a superb job of it! She also listens well and has a great, caring manner. I highly recommend her."
"I have benefited from a very knowledgeable, well trained, welcoming and professional staff at the front desk. I have had a quick check-in and a quick call to go back to see my doctor. My Gynecologist is an excellent listener, is experienced, and very professional in her advice and counsel. She cared about my whole well-being and mentioned I should lose the belly fat I was carrying. She was right, of course, and I appreciated her wanting me to have the chance to be proactive in my health."
