Dear Friends:

Heather is skeptical about this study, citing high rates in Scandanavia.

The key difference is baby-friendly practices after delivery. If mothers and 
babies are kept together from birth, and there is no nursery nor are formula 
or pacifiers used routinely, the outcomes are different for breastfeeding. 
Folks in Baby-Friendly hospitals have reported that bf rates are still high; 
Righard and Alade found that separation of mother and baby after delivery was far 
more detrimental than labor medication.

Here is a study about it as well.
