I am not implying that. Education is different from pressure. Some people apply a lot of pressure, which I too think is ridiculous because of how hard it is to breastfeed. You are not a bad mom because you are not breastfeeding. I think the pressure is a separate issue.
To be more clear, specifically what I am talking about is that I know some women who have chosen not to try because they have heard it is very hard, and maybe some additional facts of its benefits (not just pressure from people that condescend) might have convinced them to try, or convince some women to do it longer. Everybody says it's good, we all know it's good. But nobody likes to do something just because someone else said it's good for them. They want to know why.
