"...we should be careful not to "blame the victim" and assume that
mothers that have been unable to maintain the full milk supply, work full
time, etc. etc. were just not dedicated/willing/energetic/or had enough
conviction."

Absolutely our response should never be to blame  the victim, nor did I mean
to sound smug. The personal story was shared more to illustrate that
sometimes people do persevere despite great odds. Not to put down women who
do not perform as I did.
