What do you think is the biggest barrier to breastfeeding In Australia?

I voted lack of continuity of care, as I think alot of the other problems would be addressed if there was continuity of care e.g.
-less medical interventions at birth
-more education
-less conflicting advice because the woman would see one main carer
-more support

But then again I agree that the other factors have a big influence as well, such as advice from family and friends, and the work situation.

Neeny, I didn't shoot you down in flames. I didn't even know you had posted when I hit 'submit reply', because my post took me so long to compose in between interruptions. I went back to read the posts I missed and, no, your post was not angry at all, so I was definitely not responding to your post (which I hadn't even seen).
I've missed more posts, so I'm going to catch up again (I'm trying to write an assignment as well, so if ever there was split personality...!)
