Sorry yeah I should have made it clearer that, I'm very grateful, that in our day and age we do have the very safe alternative to breastfeeding and that there is definitely a group of women that either choose to bottle feed or have tried everything and are just at the end of the road and their nerves, I agree that there is not much sense in persisting past this point.
The point i was trying to make is that with formula and a lack of knowledge about bf and support with problems, the impression that successful bf is purely luck seems to becomes the general opinion...
... and to your comment yes it is this basic ... baby sucks on boob enough = milk .... never said it was easy

This is my experience of 8 months which weren't always easy ... but totally worth it ...
