    those who don't often have to return to work and can't afford help at home etc.
There is also a contingent that opt for formula because, frankly, it's easier. Also, you have the hospital system essentially getting mothers and baby's alike "hooked" on formula from day one. When you leave the hospital in the US you are given a basket of goodies, among which is an ample amount of formula. -Not trying to be cynical again, but there are corporate interests at work there, no doubt. Don't you think?
