Emmott et al. (2020) presented in this journal an analysis of different types of postnatal support that mothers in the UK experience and their relationship to breastfeeding status at two months. This paper is a commentary by two participants in the study. It draws on the research literature alongside recent lived experiences of breastfeeding and formula feeding in the UK to question and expand on Emmott et al.'s analysis. It highlights how a decision to stop breastfeeding in the current UK context may lead to experiencing a lack of support from healthcare professionals. We argue that a family-centred approach to infant feeding should acknowledge the benefits and costs of all infant feeding methods and enable all families to be fully informed and supported in feeding their babies.
埃莫特等人（2020 年）在本刊发表了一项分析，研究了英国母亲在产后不同阶段所获得的支持类型，以及这些支持与两个月时母乳喂养状况之间的关系。本文是该研究的两位参与者的评论。它借鉴了研究文献以及英国最近母乳喂养和配方奶喂养的真实经历，对埃莫特等人的分析提出质疑并加以扩展。本文强调了在当前英国背景下，母乳喂养的决定可能会导致缺乏来自医疗保健专业人员的支持。我们认为，以家庭为中心的婴儿喂养方法应该承认所有婴儿喂养方法的利弊，并使所有家庭都能充分了解并获得喂养婴儿的支持。
