I don't think is what the person was looking in terms of statistics on bf,

Salmon, Marylynn  1994
        "The Cultural Significance of Breastfeeding and Infant Care in Early
Modern England and America," Journal of Social History, 28(2):247-269.


Treckel, Paula A.  1989

of Interdisciplinary History, 20(1):25-51.
