title: A confident start to a new relationship. Biological and psychological aspects of breastfeeding.
abstract: 1. The biological and psychological aspects of breastfeeding (along with the common problems) need to be considered if success is to occur. 2. Most mothers can breastfeed. 3. Mothers with severe anatomical abnormalities, who are HIV positive, have active TB or whose children have inherited mono- or disaccharide intolerances should not breastfeed. 4. It is important not to induce guilt (and sour the mother/child relationship) if a mother does not choose to breastfeed.
