Um... I beg to differ.

Not all babies take to it as easily as you might think. Some babies, and for 
some reasons, in particular, small babies, often have trouble latching on 
and hanging on. They get tired and give up. This can be a problem with any 
baby if the breasts become engorged before the baby has a chance to get the 
hang of it all. It is terribly frustrating -- I went through it twice. A lot 
of mothers give up when this happens and use formula instead, and not 
because they're stupid or lazy but because it's frustrating as hell!
