Breastfeeding Moms Read Here


"… It was interesting that mothers and fathers
reached conclusions about the normalcy of nursing in
different ways. Mothers researched nursing and
associated parenting in the prenatal stage. They read
material, took classes, learned about nursing in their
academic lives, and for some, the knowledge about
nursing stemmed from their professional background.
However, the most efficient and valued means of
learning stemmed from the pregnant mothers’
relationships with nursing women. One reason that
interactions with other mothers were most efficient was
that mothers-to-be were able to learn tangible
information and insights about nursing beyond infancy.
Information through interaction helped mothers make
plans for the future initiation and duration of nursing."
