Countless studies have shown that mothers will breastfeed for longer if they feel they are supported by their family, friends and even the community (breastfeeding in public can be very daunting particularly when there is such a heavily negative stigma attached). I think the other component to encourage breastfeeding is to make sure that everyone, not just mothers, is educated about the benefits of breastfeeding and why it’s so important. That’s why I wrote this blog post – I hope you’ll check it out and keep up the good work! https://breastfeedingforabetterfuture.wordpress.com/2017/09/10/breastfeeding-for-a-better-future-2/
