Hi, a few years ago, one of the UK daily newspapers had a series of lists of 
things.  I sent in this list, which was published. 

Reasons not to breast-feed 

My mum didn't breast-feed me, and I'm fine.
What if someone sees your boobs? (My boyfriend wouldn't like that.)
I want my body back after nine months of pregnancy.
This milk from the clinic has prebiotics and long-chain fatty acids in it 
anyway.
My baby is better off with a wet nurse outside the noxious airs of the city 
(18th-century reason).
I can conceive another heir for my husband's family sooner (17th-century 
reason).
Breast-feeding is an intense relationship with another human being requiring 
attention and commitment (21st-century reason).
These designer bottles are so cute.
