Based on conversations I have had, would it be reasonable to say that the majority of the restrictions over the past year could and will have had an effect on breastfeeding? There was lack of partner support for breastfeeding, which is not an island and is not just about one person doing it. Lots of negatives have come with the restrictions. Could they also have had an impact on breastfeeding success for mothers?
