flag Most Australian mothers start breastfeeding, but few continue exclusively to five months, highlighting the need for better preparation and support.

flag A new report highlights that while most Australian mothers start breastfeeding, only a small fraction exclusively breastfeed by five months, underscoring the need for better preparation. flag Experts stress the importance of gaining accurate, evidence-based knowledge before birth to understand normal feeding patterns and manage challenges like low milk supply or poor latch. flag National and global health guidelines recommend exclusive breastfeeding for six months, with continued breastfeeding up to two years or longer. flag Early education helps mothers recognize normal behaviors, address issues promptly, and feel more confident. flag Support systems, including workplace rights to express milk, are also critical for success.
