Why Mothers Avoid Breastfeeding?

Abstract

Citation: Jing Mao. Why Mothers Avoid Breastfeeding?. J Clin Med Current Res. (2022);2(2): 1-2 It is widely known that breastfeeding has many beneficial, both short and long-term health effects for mother and infant [1] and has been recognized as the optimal mode of feeding internationally. Nevertheless, certain women decide to not initiate breastfeeding after giving a childbirth, what may have a serious implication on not only their health, but most importantly, health of their infants. In the past twenty years, only a few studies have attempted to explore the reasons for non-initiation, despite of these possible consequences.
