Dear Friends:
       What a great list of reasons from Leslie, evoked by a great post from
Carole!
       Why mothers bail out:

> #1 - Expectation of Accommodation, such as when things get tough either in
> play-group, school, work etc. ... it is not the "Person"  who must rise,
> grow, adapt, change to meet these challenges but it is the school, work or
> government, etc. who must "Accommodate" them. This shifts the
> responsibility off of the individual.
> #2- Societal Acceptance of Excuses, such as "I tried but...," " My home-
> life, work, <insert favorite phrase> made me who I am, so I can't / or
> won't ............" It was to hard and there are others who want me to
> bottlefeed, pump.... " Excuses have become a pattern in their life. So they
> are excused form being in charge of their choices.
> #3- Time pressure - women are expecting a quick-fix. Often, I counsel moms
> that a "tincture of time" is best, as in let your body choose the time to
> go into labor or baby need time to adapt to their new environment. They do
> not want or are not willing to wait it out.
> #4- Pain or difficulty free-they are unwilling work through difficult
> school courses, personal relationships, to feel any labor pain, so why
> should they work through the early weeks of breastfeeding.
