Hi Marcia,
Yes I think you are right (and the WHO report, while a bit old now, is
fantastic). I wrote about the impact of culture and confidence in
breastfeeding in a paper on adoptive breastfeeding a few years ago.
Gribble, K. (2004). The influence of context on the success of adoptive
breastfeeding: Developing countries and the west. Breastfeeding Review 12:
5-13.
If people would like to read it and are having trouble tracking down a copy
I can email one.

Yes, there are women who physically can't, but the vast majority of women
I see do not have a physical but instead a breastfeeding management problem.
Sorry if I'm sounding grouchy - I'm just so tired lately of hearing 'I
didn't have enough milk' If women really believe their bodies aren't
capable then of course supplementation with AIM is the logical remedy.
Please go ahead and tell me where my reasoning or my knowledge is wrong - I
really want to know if I'm off-base in my opinions here.
TIA,
Marcia McCoy, IBCLC
