As evidenced by my work at the WIC office, a majority of pregnant women are interested in breastfeeding but experience many obstacles (often times within themselves) to success. Many women rely on books, leaflets, and other written materials as their only source of information on breastfeeding, but using these sources to gain knowledge about breastfeeding can be ineffective, especially for low-income women, who may have more success relying on role models. The goals for educating mothers include increasing their knowledge and skills relative to breastfeeding and positively influencing their attitudes about it. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK52688/
