Debbie writing, and quoting others, stated:
<< this would be very difficult to study, so many variables, a challenging
project for experienced practitioners. these particular numbers reported at a
conference by Neifert, were based on one particular research study (n=319)
<<.....especially in North America, where hospital routines are capable of
making even a woman capable of nursing triples "fail".>>
in this particular study reported, "the preventable - often remediable -
breastfeeding difficulties" were placed in a group: "secondary insufficient
lactation", and =~11%
>>
Is this the study in which if the baby did not gain at least 28 gm/day the
mother was determined to have insufficient milk supply? So if the baby
gained only 25 gms/day or 26 gm/day, the mother was placed in that 11%.
Right? Except the headlines that made Good Housekeeping & Time magazine were
15%. So perhaps this is a different study?
