Well said, Elisheva! My own personal bias (based on the spurious source, 'clinical impressions') is that the women here who fret the most and are least able to be at ease with BF are those who want to know exactly how many mls the baby is getting, and then desire some sort of guarantee that the baby will make no further demands on them for some set interval, for example 3 or 4 hours. These women are often poorly educated though employed for pay, usually in lower level jobs in the health care system, i.e. nurses' aides, or aides in day cares. They are used to a task-oriented focus, NOT a process-oriented one. I see this seldom in women with university or college degrees and higher powered careers.
