It is a world wide phenomenon.  Somewhere I have an old article buried that 
shows a global distribution to the "perceived insufficient milk supply" 
syndrome.
I can't help but wonder if it has happened since the industrial revolution 
began and substitutes became more easily available OR is it just a 
perception that mothers have that has been around forever.  Pat in SNJ

PS Someone named Pam Hill has done a lot of research.  google her.
