The Obligation of Breastfeeding on the Mother

Question
Is a woman compelled to breastfeed her son?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: A woman should not be forced to breastfeed; rather, it is a religious duty upon her, fulfilling her obligation to him and preserving his health. And God knows best.
