To add to Kathy Eng's comments.  I think a number of women hear that  it is 
so hard that they lack the confidence to believe that they will be able to  do 
it.  How many of us hear the mom say rather nonchalantly, "I will  try to 
breastfeed, but I will not be devastated if it doesn't  work out."  This line 
really means that I am not sure I can do this  because so many others fail.

Most  people in the USA do not value BF enough. Period. The word is out 
there  that BF is best, but not many care. So many accept that formula is 
okay  without thinking about it.
