The article's last statement..
They report as well the hypothesis that how long a mother breast-feeds is an "indicator of the interest, time and energy that the mother is able to invest in the child during the whole upbringing period."

This is the key to it. A mother must be willing to invest time in the child!
I believe there are only 2 reasons (or excuses) why a mother doesn't breastfeed: IGNORANCE and/or SELFISHNESS.  Are there others?
