Early discharge from the hospital after birth has transformed a special rite-de-passage into a crisis for the family. One of the victims of this crisis may be an infant who is breastfeeding. When the process of breastfeeding is not going well, a common response is often to abandon breastfeeding and turn to artifical feeding. Breastfeeding, however, is the ideal method of feeding for the human infant. Human milk is species-specific, ideal for brain growth, physical nourishment, infection protection, immunologic protection, allergy avoidance, and optimal mother-infant interaction. Breastfeeding may be difficult for some mothers because we live in a bottle-feeding culture where the symbol for infancy is a bottle.
