Amy,
Years ago Dr. Ruth Lawrence found that a group of low income mothers did
not breastfeed because they felt there were too many rules...they did
not think they could eat vegetables, stay away from medicines, etc.
Now, we know that those "rules" were mostly in their own minds, but
perhaps asking the moms what concerns or fears they had about
breastfeeding would allow you to open a dialogue without them feeling
threatened.
