Useful Information
Not all mothers wish to breastfeed, and this choice is a fully recognized right. The motivations may be personal, physical, emotional or linked to previous experiences: all valid, none to justify. If you feel that breastfeeding is not the experience you want to live, it is important that your decision be heard without judgment, so that you can receive the best possible support from the first days. Your well-being is part of the health of your boy or girl.
Who to contact- Midwife or birth point staff: to be accompanied in the decision and receive guidance on the first steps.- Family counseling: for emotional support and information on managing non-breastfeeding (e.g. gradual suspension of milk flow) .- Perinatal psychologist: if you experience feelings of guilt or need listening space to process your choice.
