I see this “legacy problem” as a failure of the healthcare establishment to take lactation science seriously. Without an accurate accounting of what happened in your breastfeeding story, it’s unavoidable that your brain will create a story based on what you think and what you feel.

Without better information, she passes this story down to her daughter, who enters motherhood already primed for self-doubt. It’s generational “fake news”, a cycle of misinformation that erodes trust in women’s bodies, one family at a time.
