At least some percentage of women are simply unable to breastfeed, work or no.

And the reason for this is. . . ?

My wife was unable to produce adequately to feed our twins. Since they were hospitalized for 12 weeks due to prematurity, we thought the decreased production may have been due to being forced to use a breastpump. We thought that if the boys were able to suckle directly, it might improve. Unfortunately, our next child proved this not to be the case. Even with the singleton, she was unable to produce a significant amount beyond the first week or so, once his demands started to increase.

Thanks for your thorough answer to my question.
