What is an effective strategy for engaging someone about breastfeeding?

Tell them breastfeeding is easy
Share positive experiences of breastfeeding
Ask about their knowledge on breastfeeding
Discuss potential challenges of breastfeeding

The correct answer is: Ask about their knowledge on breastfeeding

Engaging someone about breastfeeding requires a considerate and personalized approach. By asking about their knowledge on breastfeeding (option C), you are not assuming their level of familiarity with the topic and showing respect for their perspective. This approach opens the door for a respectful conversation where you can tailor your information and support based on their existing knowledge and beliefs. While sharing positive experiences of breastfeeding (option B) can be uplifting, it may not resonate with someone who is facing doubts or challenges about breastfeeding. Discussing potential challenges of breastfeeding (option D) is important but might not be the best initial strategy as it might come across as overwhelming or discouraging. Telling them breastfeeding is easy (option A) is not ideal as it oversimplifies the experience and might invalidate any struggles or concerns they might have.
