Summary: Physicians are often new mothers' primary source of breastfeeding information and support. Unfortunately, doctors usually know little about breastfeeding and it's not their fault. Breastfeeding is not included in medical education. So doctors are in the unenviable position of being expected to know something that they have never learned. Most physicians, and many other health professionals, cannot accurately assess latch and whether babies are drinking from the breast. In addition, they don't know how to solve breastfeeding problems.
