I'm with the chicken/egg comment. I think the claim is correlative not cause/effect. In economically advantaged homes, mothers who are choosing to nurse are more educated. So maybe but based on US statistic - you'd have to go into an economically/educationally uniform area.
I nursed my kids but that was my choice. I'm all for individual passions but some things can stay at an individual level. It has stayed nice in this thread but usually it ends up with people making guilted comments that they wished or tried or whatever...
Hey my #1 we nearly starved because our lactation consultant was a nitwit and she's a 99.9er. I often wonder since her behavior is the best if we should have starved all of them :-) kidding but...
sorry if this is grouchy... see my next post...
