Only 2% of woman can produce enough milk to sustain baby 100%?

Is this true? That seems so incredibly low. Especially since our bodies were made to sustain life. I jus read that in another group and it threw me off guard. How can that be true? My mom told me she couldn't produce enough milk. And my sister is currently having difficulty producing enough milk, but I thought not being able to produce was rare.

No. Its the reverse. Like 2-5% can't.

[YettaR]

Bump I can't believe it!!

[MrsApple]

I would think so.

Quoting Melame68:

No. Its the reverse. Like 2-5% can't.

[mommyakabooby]

that's not true. Where did you hear that.

[lovinglife0206]

That is absolutely not true. Our bodies were made to grow and nuture our children.

[OrionsMyBabyman]

It's the opposite. Only 2% CANNOT.

[tennisgal]

I do not believe that for one second. I have to agree with you, I thought the amount of women who honestly couldn't produce enough milk was very very low. 

[CheesyKitty]

I am not a dr or anything but I think their numbers are backwards. That only 2% (using your numbers I don't really know) are unable to breast feed. If it was the other way around humans would never have survived before formula.

[Hildegarde]

Source? The formula companies no doubt. Think about it. People have been exclusively breastfeeding their children for MILLENNIA! I'm a nurse, it's a supply and demand system, you start supplementing with formula then your supply decreases, you nurse more frequently when you are empty and BAM you place an order for more milk stat!

Its the opposite. Only 2% of women truly cannot BF.
