Why mums don't want to talk about breastfeeding problems

Breastfeeding doesn't come naturally to everyone. In fact, most women struggle at some point in their breastfeeding experience.

She talks about her own challenges with breastfeeding and why women still struggle today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
