Are we asking a parent to overcome a structural problem with personal resilience?
Explores fatigue, confidence, stigma, schedules and facilities, showing how individual strengths and structural conditions combine in a parent’s feeding experience.
Study context
12 formally employed mothers in urban Indonesia recruited through theoretical sampling.
Age / stage: Mothers aged 25–36 with infants aged six to twelve months.
Read with three questions
- Which internal and external barriers did participants distinguish?
- How did coworker support, caregiving consistency and lactation facilities interact?
- Which accountability proposals require evaluation beyond the interview evidence?
Keep the limits in view
A small theoretical sample does not establish prevalence or policy effectiveness; online retrospective interviews capture selected experiences and recommendations.
