I chose Lack of education,

for me I was a new and young mum and the hospital was way to understaffed to cope with any of my needs to have a midwife or a breastfeeding councelor available to teach me and show me and help me through the rough times. I felt so alone through my breastfeeding trials, and yes those services were available but you had to book in and wait for them to be available for your needs, breastfeeding was alot harder than I thought it would be, I dont remember ever really talking about it prior to birth, just that I was going to give it a go.

I turned to formular because I couldnt bare it any longer, and with my Daughter I got mastitus very badly on both sides, this was becasue she was not attaching properly, but no one had the time or the staff requirements to back up having someone spend some time and make sure I was doing this properly.
