This article that appeared in The Courier Mail 27 March 2007 (click picture to view) is an interesting read on some of the reasons women stop breastfeeding early. A parliamentary inquiry in breastfeeding is examining these reasons as the inquiry was told the health benefits of mother's milk could save millions of dollars. Some of the major reasons for stopping early were a lack of support, lack of information and sense that breastfeeding is frowned upon in public.
What do you think? It raises some important issue for breastfeeding mums.
To address some of this issues, in the next few months here at Nuvo Maternity, we will be including more support information for mothers, tips for feeding in public and real-life stories of breastfeeding mums. We want to support women and help increase the rates of mothers breastfeeding exclusively for at least 6 months.
