I sure hope they are encouraging new mothers to try breastfeeding first.
And coaching them well.
There is a learning curve for the first time that can make a difference between success and failure. From, *I guess I just can’t produce enough milk* , to *Good Lord, I could feed twins.*
Been there, done that. I almost gave up until I talked to an experienced mother of 6 and breastfeeding coach. And it was worth it.
Remember La Leche League?
They need to bring that back.
You make excellent points.
Ours are 41 and 43 now and both breast fed but I don’t remember for how long. Lol
