Is there any chance of cultural or societal factors influencing latch problems? if yes, how can these be navigated?

Hi Gabrielle! Thank you for this question, it's a good one! Technically, cultural or societal factors may not influence the LATCH so much as latching often is a technique work. However, cultural and/or societal factors have a huge impact on parents' decision to BREASTFEED. One way to navigate these pressures is to do be thoroughly convinced that your breastmilk is indeed the best nourishment for your baby. Numerous scientific studies have concluded the amazing benefits of breastmilk, and how nothing quite compares to it. Once you have the data and the education about breastfeeding, it helps to explain this to especially immediate family members and friends of your decision to breastfeed. Hopefully, that provides some ground for understanding and acceptance. It's not easy, mama! Our best thoughts go with you!
