Abstract

Both exclusivity and duration of breastfeeding are increased when support is offered to breastfeeding women. This article provides an overview of best practice information and practical ways for primary care practitioners to support mothers to navigate common breastfeeding challenges. We also consider what is likely to be most effective when providing support during the covid-19 pandemic.
