Kim, That's a hard one! It's hard to imagine how you and your sisters came to be in such different places. I wonder how much "sibling stuff" is in there somewhere (she can't MAKE me breastfeed!) or competition (I can't do it as well as she did so I won't even try) or maybe just resistance to the intimacy involved. I've noticed this in other families, too. I am so tempted to say, "How will you tell your child you couldn't be bothered to breastfeed her?" which of course would be mean-spirited and unhelpful, so it's just sort of a mental vent. Probably to "walk a mile in her shoes" is the only way we'd ever get an answer.
