I agree with BertrandRussell's post further up this page. It is quite clear that for the majority of women in the UK, the question of whether or not to breastfeed is a matter of choice, not forced by inability. That must follow from the statistics showing the UK has a very significantly lower breastfeeding rate than most other European (let alone developing) nations - see this graph which is one of the clearest I've found: www.breastfeeding-rates.info/ . Obviously there are people for whom it absolutely wasn't possible; there are others for whom it was very difficult and there are others who just didn't get on with it. I don't have an issue with any of that (other than thinking that there do appear to be population level benefits of breastfeeding, so it would be good if more people did it in the abstract - but I think that about lots of things).
The problem is that the framing of the debate in such a way that people feel the need to justify their choice means that people are put off simply saying "I didn't like it; I didn't want to do it". I agree that means more people are left thinking breastfeeding is horrendously difficult - which it is for some people, but for many it's not. For me, it hurt for the first couple of weeks both times round, but after that it was easy and I did it til I went back to work (at 8 months - others will have to return earlier). The level of heat and upset these debates always cause - probably because most people on them are very engaged, either because they desperately wanted to breastfeed and found it difficult or impossible, or because they have breastfed with difficulty, or for a long time - is a big part of the problem.
