Evidence-Based Maternal Health: Fact-checked and aligned with ACOG & AAP clinical protocols.
New mothers go into breastfeeding with the best intentions. Unfortunately, many face unexpected roadblocks like perceived low supply or lack of real-world support.
Studies show that over 80% of expectant mothers intend to breastfeed, but nearly 60% stop earlier than intended. Understanding the top reasons behind this allows parents to obtain practical clinical support before throwing in the towel.
1. Perceived Low Milk Supply
Frequent cluster feeding and softer postpartum breasts often mislead mothers into believing their supply has dried up, when in reality their infant is simply signaling the glandular tissue for the next developmental growth spurt.
