Study: Breastfeeding for 6 Months Is an Unrealistic Goal
- PaulHoule 15y agoHospital births are a big reason why breastfeeding fails. There's a narrow window of time between birth and establishing a breastfeeding relationship... Wait too long and the breast milk dries up. My sister-in-law recently had a scheduled C-section and she suffered from complications (infections, panic attacks, etc.) that left her in bad sorts for about two months. In a case like that there's no chance you can get breastfeeding started. We had our son at home and he never left my wife's side for the first week and she had no real difficulty continuing a breastfeeding relationship past one year.
