Last year, fifty per cent of the mothers who responded to a survey commissioned by BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and BBC Radio Sheffield said they felt that they had let their baby down when they struggled to breastfeed and revealed they felt ashamed for giving their child formula.
It comes after Kidman revealed last year that she almost quit acting in 2008 after giving birth to her daughter but was persuaded to continue her career thanks to her mother.
Additionally, previous breast surgery, separation from the baby, illness of the child or the mother, and using a dummy or bottle before breastfeeding is established can also impact milk supply.
Nicole Kidman has detailed how scared she was after being unable to breastfeed after giving birth.
“That came from a woman who was from a generation that didn’t have the opportunities that I had, that she had helped create for her daughters,” Kidman added.
