There are four primary reasons why women give up breastfeeding:
-
It hurts.
-
You think you don’t have
enough milk.
-
You have to go back to work and you don’t
think you can breastfeed because of your schedule or lifestyle.
-
You’ve been waylaid by misinformation, i.e., you’ve
heard anecdotal “nonevidence” that it’s
OK to feed your baby formula, or that it’s too hard
to breastfeed.
My approach is to educate breastfeeding mothers about what they’re
doing with HONEST, ACCURATE, TIMELY, RESPONSIBLE, PRACTICAL INFORMATION.
First, I will assess your situation. Then, I will discuss your
breastfeeding goals, and come up with a plan to help you meet
those goals. Last, I will help you implement the plan, and we
will reevaluate as needed.
