I guess my point ( in regard to BF) in my OP was a woman shouldn't be made to feel guilty if she finds she can't BF via statistics. It promotes guilt and shame when support is most needed. When the MW said to me "Of course you can BF" and "it's in your head if you can't" it made me feel stupid like how could I even have said such a silly thing. It would have preferred her to be a bit more encouraging and perhaps have said something like "our bodies are designed to BF and if you find you can't for whatever reason that you can't then we can provide you with all the support you need to make that transition. And if you still find that you can't, it's not your fault and we can find an alternative to nourish your child". Or something along those lines, YKWIM?

I have to say I ultimately agree that statistics are great......especially when you prove them wrong
