Despite recognized health benefits for both mothers and infants, significant disparities still exist in the rates of breastfeeding in the United States. This article reviews the evidence related to barriers (prenatal, medical, societal, hospital, and sociocultural) that many mothers face, and explore the known barriers and the impact they have on a woman’s ability to breastfeed her infant.Strategies will be discussed to address (and potentially overcome) some of the most common barriers women face along with a list of resources that can be useful in this effort.
