Hi, Marsha:  I don't know if your observed drop in BF rates is due to the
new formulas or not, but I consistently notice year after year a
substantial drop in BF rates as we head into the summer months - moms just
can't be bothered or inconvenienced with BF when the weather gets nice and
they get busy.  I also notice a smaller drop in BF rates around the
holidays every year.  Could this be another factor in your observations?

Sigh.
