Put in my vote for a cultural and economical system that 1) denies the
importance of intimacy between people in general and the mother baby-dyad
specifically and (related) 2) socio-political opinions (leftover from the
early feminist move to guarantee to women the "right" to be just like a man)
that see as adversarial or at least separate the rights and fates of women and
children.  Women should be able to everything they have the right to do
today--AND, they should have the right to do them with or near their young
children.  Furthermore, children should have the basic human right to be near
mother NO MATTER where she is for the first few years.

Separate children and women physically, and create a stigma whereby media
presents the mother-child relationship as an adversarial one that the woman
must break free of in order to really be fulfilled, and you have a recipe for
a culture of detachment and therefore low breastfeeding success rates.
