Clinically overweight and obese mothers and low rates of breastfeeding: Exploring women's perspectives

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Background: It is universally recognised that breastmilk is the best food for babies and that breastfeeding provides significant health benefits for both mothers and babies. Women who are overweight or obese have lower rates of initiation and duration of breastfeeding. There is a need to understand the woman's perspective, and any additional factors that may contribute to breastfeeding difficulties for overweight or obese women.
