Additional reasons for deciding not to breastfeed can include concern about the quality and quantity of breast milk, and partner and family support, which are
common across developed and developing countries.10, 11 Women who decide not to breastfeed are also more likely to have smoked during their pregnancy, be primiparous mothers (i.e., having their first child), and to have a child born low birth weight or with complex
health issues such as cystic fibrosis.9, 12 Prenatal and post-natal stressful experiences may also reduce the duration of breastfeeding.13 Finally,
several studies suggest that mother's who return to work within the first 6 months postpartum or anticipate an early return to full - time employment, are less likely to breastfeed.
In extreme northern or southern parts of the world, where sunlight exposure is slim to none, suicide rates are higher and
several diseases and

common (luckily, for men closer to the poles, artificial light can help improve the Vitamin D production in men as well).
