In generations past, that support came from a close circle of female friends and family members. These days, unenthusiastic hospital nurses are the ones who are with new mothers in the first few hours and then women go home, alone for the most part, to a confusing barrage of unfamiliar expectations and discomfort. For women in poverty or dysfunctional families, the circumstances are even worse. Wouldn't it be great if experienced, successful mothers shared their encouragement and wisdom (about breastfeeding, mothering, sex, depression, etc.) with the younger mothers in their lives? In healthcare, we have let our infatuation with technology and "modern" medicine dismantle many natural social connections that should connect us. This is just one example, think of how we have kept people separated at birth, at death, after injury, etc. Our health would be much better served by personal nurturing as part of our medical care. We need to be a blessing for each other! Lack of support by other women who have enjoyed breastfeeding is the reason most American women decide not to nurse their babies.

It is difficult and painful when EVERYTHING else hurts, and I didn't have a lot of support. hummmm….I didn’t breastfeed but I support it wholeheartedly.

Dr. Bill Price encouraged me to breast feed for as long as I could for my baby's best interest. I did breast feed for the 1st month and then went back to teaching. I wish that we had known more about the pump and etc. almost 28 years ago. Both my doctor and my daughter's doctor maintained that was why she was such a stong and healthy child the first year with just regular check-ups and she has continued to have good heath. Even that short period of time, we reaped great benifits from mother's milk I have e-mailed this to our daughter and ask her to read this from the stand point of a lawyer and a some day mother.
