As the act of breastfeeding has become increasingly more medicalized, women are receiving a considerable amount of breastfeeding support and information from hospitals and health professionals (Angeletti, 2009). Arora and colleagues (2000) report that 25.7 percent of the information that women receive regarding breastfeeding is from health professionals (physicians, nurses, prenatal classes). Several authors have identified support received from health professionals as influencing the initiation and duration of breastfeeding. A UK study found that a significant factor associated with breastfeeding at 2 weeks was the mother receiving enough support for breastfeeding from the hospital staff, which increased the likelihood of exclusive breastfeeding by over 2 times when compared to mothers who did not receive adequate support for breastfeeding from hospital staff (Ingram, Johnson, & Greenwood, 2002).
