Perceived breast milk insufficiency was the only factor associated with non-EBF at all time points. The issue of perceived breast milk insufficiency therefore needs to be explored further and addressed by lactation consultants and other maternal and child health professionals. Strategies may include breastfeeding education prior to the surgery and provision of a helpline to provide information and emotional support to the mothers following delivery. The important roles of lactation support groups in early detection and intervention of the problem cannot be emphasised enough.
