Our goal as health professionals is to help women understand the benefits of breastfeeding, acknowledge barriers that may prevent them from breastfeeding, and allow them to make an informed decision about what is the best way to feed their infant. We then need to be able to help the mother and the baby reach their goal of successful breastfeeding.
