Good point, Amy&rafi, there is definitely a level of responsibility that a lot of women abdicate. Others just don't have the exposure to BFing, though - how do you find out about something no-one around you values? Some women don't have basic research skills to seek out resources. I often get frustrated when a woman tells me she didn't know about such and such, because if they had just asked around they would have known sooner. It's easy to say it is their fault for not investigating it themselves, but women have become so disempowered in this society of advertising saturation, images of babies=bottles, hospitals comp feeding babies etc, that it is no wonder that, realistically, women just don't know better. Ideally, they should be more instinctive and questioning, but it's just not as simple as that anymore.
