sadly its due to wrong or misguided information. I am a certified breastfeeding counselor and training to be a lactation consultant and it makes me sad how much WRONG information moms are given. Pediatricians and OBs are usually uninformed or untrained on breastfeeding. Its really not part of their job description so they have no real training in it.

But kellymom is a good resource (Google) and Mamas Milkies on Facebook is also amazing. both have real accurate information. (:

okay:) thank you!:) i just see so many women on this site not being able to and it makes me sad but thank you:)@fallwithautumn

less than 8% of women physically can't breastfeed. chances are if your dedicated and have the right support and information you'll be just fine ☺☺☺
