Abstract: In these times where the world has shrunk and where people immigrate all over the world getting support where the support person understands their culture can become really difficult. The abstract intends to address how this can be addressed using local and online support system so families don't feel lost. Many a times it is difficult for the family to understand where the local LC comes from while the LC doesn't get what the family is going through and why certain things are done in a certain way. The abstract addresses this issue and tries to provide a solution where it is a win-win situation for everyone. It has been proved that based on the culture the families attending the same hospital with the same support system can have entirely different breastfeeding journeys. It is important to understand what will help each family to continue to breastfeed as long as they can and proceed to implement that. While it does sound difficult, it actually might not be that bad if we can rope in support from the local professionals from the same community and also guiding them to reach out online support with someone who can relate to them.
