Pearl,

<< 53% of
 American mothers are now choosing to breastfeed. Does anyone know where Dia
got this number from? I'd like to have the source to share with the
 nutritionist at work who is doing a report for her graduate class... >>

Actually, according to Ross Labs Mothers' survey (doncha love it?) the number
of mothers initiating bf in the hospital (in the US) is 59.7% in 1995.

Jan Barger, who wonders when a non-biased survey will be coming forth.
