“…The stories presented by the grandmothers in our study suggest insights into the personal and cultural context that a grandmother may bring to her support of the new mothers in her family as they initiate and establish breastfeeding. Most of the women in our study became new mothers in the 20th century, when the United States experienced a rapid decline in breastfeeding with the development of infant formula as the preferred method of infant feeding and a decreased confidence in women's ability to breastfeed (Apple, 1987;Greer & Apple, 1991;Mulford, 1995). Most of our study's participants gave birth in the 1960s and early 1970s, when common hospital and infant-feeding practices made successful breastfeeding difficult.…”

“…Breastfeeding has been historically valued as the gold standard for feeding infants due to its many health benefits for mothers and infants, including reducing the risk of maternal cancers, improving infant-mother bonding, and reducing infant mortality. 1 While the availability of animal milk, wet nurses, and the evolution of infant formula previously reduced the rates of breastfeeding, [2][3][4] in 2018 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveyed the rates of breastfeeding in the United States and discovered an increase, with 84% of mothers having "ever breastfed," and 57% still breastfeeding at 6 months. 5 As more than half of lactating individuals breastfeed on average, many lactating individuals take medications while breastfeeding.…”
