Culturally, amongst Black families, and historically, breastfeeding was kind of shunned upon. Of course, [breastfeeding] was our first go-to, but at one point in time when formula came around, breastfeeding was said to be kind of nasty.
Sometimes, when moms are in the hospital, you might have different biases among doctors, hospital staff, and nurses. They might not put as much effort into showing moms how to breastfeed, what's appropriate, or give them correct input and training because they automatically assume that Black women aren't going to breastfeed anyway.
