2. In light of #1 - handing out breast pumps too early before a supply has been well established can cause many women to think they aren't making enough milk and switch to formula.
3. Even if you are a good pumper, pumping even every 3-4 hours can lead to low supply as babies don't really eat that way. They go through periods of cluster feeding (usually lasting a few days) nursing as often every hour - which dramatically increases a woman's milk supply.
Personally I would like to see more money made available for lactation consultants, which I think would help women across the social spectrum. Mine was a lifesaver.
