mothers who reach
for the bottle after a struggle with
breastfeeding know they have done the
best they could with the resources they had at the time (health, energy, knowledge,
support)-- these
mothers may feel deeply sad and disappointed, they may be grieving, but guilt isn't an appropriate label
for these overwhelming feelings of loss
for themselves and their babies.

Some barriers include the negative attitudes of women and their partners and family members, as
well as health care professionals, toward
breastfeeding, whereas the main reasons that women do not start or give up
breastfeeding are reported to be poor family and social
support, perceived milk insufficiency, breast problems, maternal or infant illness, and return to outside employment.2 Several strategies have been used to promote breastfeeding, such as setting standards for maternity services3, 4 (eg, the joint World Health Organization — United Nations Children's Fund [WHO - UNICEF] Baby Friendly Initiative), public education through media campaigns, and health professionals and peer - led initiatives to support individual mothers.5 — 9 Support from the infant's father through active participation in the breastfeeding decision, together with a positive attitude and knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding, has been shown to have a strong influence on the initiation and duration of breastfeeding in observational studies, 2,10 but scientific evidence is not available as to whether training fathers to manage the most common lactation difficulties can enhance breastfeeding

Policy also needs to reflect the need
for better social
support so that
mothers are again surrounded by people who believe that they can
breastfeed and believe that
breastfeeding is important.
We also discuss how the same underlying cultural beliefs that
supported the idea that infants sleep
best alone serve presently to permit the acceptance of an inappropriate set of assumptions related to explaining why some babies die unexpectedly while sleeping in their parents beds.9 These assumptions are that regardless of circumstances, including maternal motivations and / or the absence of all known bedsharing risk factors, even nonsmoking, sober,
breastfeeding mothers place their infants at significantly increased risk
for SUID by bedsharing.
When they do, they are also more likely to feed their babies
for a shorter length of time.14 - 16 Hospital policies and staff practices that
support breastfeeding, as
well as social
support from fathers, grandmothers and other
breastfeeding mothers, can help alleviate misgivings and improve
breastfeeding duration and quality.16 - 18

better mood, thus potentially helping to
support parent engagement and care.33 Second, it is also possible that the positive effects on child cognitive development may play a role.
