I agree with what you say, but in my experience here in Sicily, I'm sure there is also a good percentage of bad faith. In the hospital where Greta (my daughter) was born, and later in doctors waiting rooms, I saw a lot of mothers actively discouraged to breastfeed their children in a way or the other. Because co-sleeping is a very important factor in the success rate of breastfeeding I wonder if there is also some connection with many doctors discouraging it.

I know this looks odd but I know first-hand people working inside the hospital and I got internal acknowledges about the fact that hospitals received pressurs in the context of breastfeeding once they started to encourage it too broadly. Artificial milk is a 50$/week tax they are able to get from most newborns for months.
