Geesh, what a question! I'd say the biggest obstacle is right brain
dwelling. If moms could just live in their hearts raather than their heads
and trust their feelings, then I think our breastfeeding rates would rise
sky high. I have never heard a mom say, "oh, I wish I had spent less time
with my child or I wished I hadn't nursed for so long" but I do hear women
say " I wish I had spent more time enjoying my baby rather than working" or
"I wish I had nursed him/her longer" or "I wish I had had more support when
I had xyz problem and was told to wean" (and did)
Good luck. I hope we'll hear about the results.
