Breastfeeding is a natural and beneficial practice, but many new mothers encounter challenges such as difficulties with baby latching and concerns about milk supply. Studies indicate that approximately 31% of mothers stop breastfeeding due to perceived insufficient milk supply, and 19% due to latching problems. (Source)
