No I wasn't being that simplistic, but ta, I can only attribute a certain amount of that to pregnant brain, I'm also incredibly stupid at maths. And I was BF, more proof that stats like these are broad and not case by case
If 3-4% cannot BF, and only 19% are at 6 months (I believe the stat is for exclusive BF, not any BF) then yes, I believe the main reasons for not BF at that stage are either no longer wanting to, lack of support to keep going or lack of education. There are variables, like needing to go back to work, mental health issues etc. But really, they boil bak down (at a very fundamental level) to choice or lack of support/education. That is being incredibly basic though. I'd hate to think that I could be perceived as black and white, I think I'll I've shared of my life on BB demonstrates rather clearly that I don't believe that that is the case in life.
ETA I'll leave my little mathematical blunder for continuity and future lols, but clearly people can see its an easy enough mistake and hopefully understand me
