>>>. Sorry if I sound angry on this one but I think a disservice is done to women and breastfeeding when it assume that the only ones who can breastfeed are those that stay home with their kids full time. <<< In the Netherlands the bf rates among working mothers is higher than among sah mothers.

So, the fact that in western societies the higher educated women are more likely to breastfeed is here the clue. -- Annelies Bon bf counsellor The Netherlands
