I'm curious - does she have good hard evidence that there has been an increase in the rate of mother-baby pairs with problems breastfeeding? I'd be willing to bet that in the past when there were problems, many more babies died. For example, my kid would have died for sure if he had been born before the 1940s (when the operation that saved his life was first performed), so you would never have observed our struggle to breastfeed.
