Perhaps most importantly, we need to stop demonizing mothers who can't breastfeed, guilting them into starving their kids with insufficientmilk supplies rather than supplementing with formula.
Common reasons for stopping breastfeeding were problems with the baby rejecting the breast or not latching on properly, having painful breasts or nipples and feeling that they had 'insufficient milk'.
Less than 1% of women actually breastfeed their baby exclusively for this long, and NHS research suggests a significant number experience problems in the first few weeks - with insufficientmilk supply and baby's failure to suckle properly cited as the main problems.
