In fact, there so many influences on our feeding decisions

What did I know before I was pregnant? What did I learn – from friends, family, from school, health professionals, from the way people talk about feeding babies in my community? From the way babies are presented in the media? And afterwards, if I decided to breastfeed, did I get all the help I needed to get started, to overcome problems? Who from? How much, how helpful was it?

Some women have luckier and more supported feeding journeys than others.
