Introduction Not all new mothers manage to follow the breastfeeding recommendations provided by health authorities. In Australia, compared to the general population of mothers, new mothers younger than twenty-five are significantly more likely to fail in implementing exclusive breastfeeding and, therefore, are listed among the priority populations for the national strategy to promote breastfeeding (COAG Health Council, 2019). This paper explores this demographic group in terms of factors that act as barriers to the continuation and initiation of breastfeeding, promising strategies to promote the practice, and the degree to which the existing strategies address the barriers to breastfeeding affecting young mothers. Socio-Cultural and Personal Factors Influencing Breastfeeding in Young Mothers Enough scholarly studies have been conducted to explore the factors affecting breastfeeding choices in women younger than twenty-five, including adolescent mothers, but recent studies that would focus only on this age group in Australia are few. Barriers to breastfeeding are likely to be similar across developed economies, which is why it is possible to use evidence from other English-speaking countries to understand the key factors that might be relevant to young mothers in Australia. Young women’s determination to initiate and continue breastfeeding is affected by the degree to which the infrastructure is sustainable for breastfeeding activities. The evidence from a community-based participatory research study conducted in the United States suggests that the prominent socio-cultural factor that affects young mothers is access to places that are supportive of breastfeeding (Chopel et al., 2019). For some young mothers, the absence of places of worship where they could feed infants can become the reason to consider other approaches to infant nutrition (Chopel et al., 2019). Evidence from Australia also highlights the existence of this barrier to breastfeeding, especially in the workplace (Ogbo et al., 2016). Importantly, it is mentioned to be relevant to the entire population of mothers, not only those younger than twenty-five. Another socio-cultural factor that is closely interconnected with the absence of breastfeeding-friendly places is the stigma against young mothers. Despite some attempts to destigmatize breastfeeding, the very act of nursing a child in public can still cause different reactions, including requests to leave or other disapproving comments (Chopel et al., 2019). For those becoming mothers relatively early in life, this stigma doubles and starts to include the perceptions of young mothers as irresponsible people that do not have goals in life (Chopel et al., 2019). It happens that young women that have children are automatically perceived as unmarried, which also adds to the stigma, thus encouraging them to avoid breastfeeding in public places (Australian Breastfeeding Association, 2016; Chopel et al., 2019). Although the Australian law considers breastfeeding in public legal and acceptable, the de facto situation is that even security guards and sales assistants happen to ask nursing mothers to leave public places (Ogbo et al., 2016). With that in mind, young mothers’ opportunities for breastfeeding are limited due to stigma, which
