Diane,
great post.
To answer plainly, I don't know.
I suspect it has something to do with the fact that in a first world country
babies can "get by" on formula. I suspect there is also a hesitancy to blame
a problem on something the parents did when that something is socially
acceptable. Kathy D?
Also see the archives for Alicia Dermer's post about health care workers and
their personal experiences.
