Breastfeeding is often more difficult than expected, impacting many mothers' experiences. Globally recognized as the best infant feeding method, breastfeeding rates remain low, with only over 60% of newborns exclusively breastfed and less than half by three months. Mothers face multiple obstacles, including lack of information, support, and cultural acceptance, limiting their breastfeeding success. Awareness and better understanding of breastfeeding dynamics, alongside strong support networks, can significantly improve the experiences of mothers and families navigating this critical aspect of motherhood.
Most mothers are not properly informed about the effects that delivery has on breastfeeding. Everything from the IV fluids to medication can impact milk supply or the baby's ability to latch.
Breastfeeding is acknowledged as the best way to feed a baby through at least the first six months of life, with solid foods being gradually introduced, yet many mothers struggle to achieve their breastfeeding goals.
