[quote=Anonymous]How about social reasons? Women are not supported in breastfeeding by a system that provides no paid maternity leave to most women. I haven’t read the study and know that “psychological” reasons exist as well - I believe I personally struggled with supply while pumping because in addition to the pump being less efficient than the baby, I hated the pump. But I do think that realistically, many women who would otherwise be able to breastfeed are either culturally trained not to want to or are living lives that are not conducive to breastfeeding. I truly don’t care how other women choose to feed their babies, but I do think that lack of meaningful social support for breastfeeding results in a lot of milk supply difficulties. [/quote]
