i think its more to do with lack of support and affordability of support, as breastfeeding a baby means every 2-3 hours you will have to leave everything and feed a baby. Also if you really want to breast feed then you will have to take some time off work, not many employers want to give a paid maternity leave and i think if you are breastfeeding then you should be granted atleast 6 months of paid maternity leave so you can support yourself well, and the care after having a baby in australia is shameful. Women are left on their own to cope up with the most stressful period of their lives, no wonder the rate of post natal depression are so high, and when are you depressed you body doesnt tend to do the natural things, even the milk produced is not sufficient. A mother needs privacy while feeding a baby and you literally have to look around to find a place to feed, even a stone or wooden fixed chair in a public toilets with a small curtian would be so helpful. But generally i think the mothers are just not cared for they have no support or very minimal support to be thinking the best for the child all the time is not possible, so much to do with a small baby, and hardly any rest, mothers are so tired all the time, life is very difficult at that itme and all the time there is so much to do, breastfeeding becomes a problem at that time with so much associated with it
hope government takes some proper measures
