When breastfeeding doesn’t work?

There are loads of reasons if a mother can’t breastfeed. These include:

1. Hormonal imbalances
2. Excessive and persistent stress.
3. Previous breast surgery
4. Nipple issues.
5. Hypothyroidism
6. PCOS
7. Medications such as chemotherapy, antiretroviral, radioactive iodine, some sedatives, a seizure medication.

Most of the issues listed are usually treatable with lactation consultants and registered nutritionists.  It may be difficult at the beginning but eventually gets better with time.
