In my experience, one of the greatest barriers to
early nursing
successes is a typical hospital birth (I can't speak for Israel, so I will speak for the US), which includes a surgical delivery for up to 40 % of moms (depending on the hospital),
lactation consultants who work only on the day shift during the week, the refusal to allow babies to room in with mom (and then not waking mom when baby wakes), not permitting moms to nurse babies with jaundice (based on what?)
