Study Looks At Why Women Stop Breastfeeding

(Cleveland, OH)  –  A new Cleveland Clinic study takes a look at why some women stop breastfeeding early.  Doctor Sara Lappe [[ luh-PAY ]] says mothers who experience concerns in the first two weeks of postpartum are more likely to stop breastfeeding early.

Researchers interviewed more than 27-hundred first-time moms.  They found breastfeeding concerns within the first 14  to 60 days postpartum decreased chances of sticking with it.  The most predominant concern was difficulty with latching, followed by breastfeeding pain, and milk quantity concerns.  Researchers say developing confidence with every new mom and providing adequate support can help women breastfeed longer. Doctor Sara Lappe [[ luh-PAY ]]  says breastfeeding is not always easy, so new moms should use all of the resources that are available.
