There was a woman on BBC yesterday talking about this and she was bemoaning the fact that a lot of time in ante-natal class is spent telling expectant mothers how good breastfeeding is, and not enough time telling them how to deal with problems when they apparently can't breastfeed, which only makes the poor women more anxious when they do have problems.

Can't remember what her precise role is, but she often gets called in to help mothers having difficulty and is often able to solve problems, and wishes more support was given in the NHS to doing the same thing.
