Nikki Lee alerted us to this CDC report on breastfeeding in USA.
http://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/pdf/2014breastfeedingreportcard.pdf

Though I am not an American, I still found it fascinating, and great news,
well done.

One question - in the first graph, they show the increase in numbers of
IBCLCs and CLCs.   Can someone explain how they differ?   I see that CLCs
are increasing at a much faster rate.  I'm wondering if CLCs fill the
professional gap between LLL and the IBCLC credential (which seems to be
getting out of the reach of those with a mother-support background)

Thanks
