Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The factors that contribute to successful breastfeeding are the mother's desire to breastfeed, satisfaction with breastfeeding, and available support systems. The mother's socioeconomic level may affect the mother's need to return to work and available support systems, but with support, the mother can be successful. The size of the mother's breasts does not affect the success of breastfeeding. Very low birth weight newborns may be unable to breastfeed. The mother can express milk, and it can be used for the child.
