Ninety per cent of women recognise that breastfeeding is the best form of nourishment for babies. Unfortunately, factors such as a lack of knowledge and technique problems prevent them from doing so as only fifty per cent of mums exclusively breastfeed at discharge and it drops to 30 per cent beyond two months.

Many mothers are doubtful of their ability to make milk, worried about pain, lack of breastfeeding management skills or simply seeking information from the wrong people.
