Most women are motivated to breastfeed, many for more than 1 year, while not all women received information about breastfeeding techniques, possible difficulties and methods of overcoming them from health workers. The vast majority of lactating women face difficulties in breastfeeding (difficulties in the technique of attachment to the breast, cracks, lactostasis, mastitis). The most vulnerable group of children in terms of maintaining breastfeeding is premature babies, for whom the issues of maintaining breastfeeding are especially acute. Conclusion-suggestion: it is necessary to train the staff of medical organizations on practical issues of breastfeeding support in order to overcome difficulties for nursing mothers and maintain long-term breastfeeding as a guarantee of the health of the younger generation. Natural feeding has significant advantages over artificial. It is not for nothing that breast milk is called “living tissue / matter”, as it is able to change the composition and adapt to the current needs of the child, depending on the time of day, lactation period and even the sex of the baby. With major changes in infant formula ranges, the withdrawal of a number of leading baby food concerns due to sanctions, and promising attempts at import substitution, healthcare professionals need sources of up-to-date information.
